[Jennifer · Rating 5 out of 5]

These are sonnets of unquestionable merit, executed with expertise and feeling. Following the course of a love affair in limbo, the speaker -- more meditative than active, more intuitive than sensual -- compels the reader through a veritable Venetian canal of classicism, while simultaneously achieving (and sustaining) a unique, convincing contemporary voice. Whistles and car bells, flat screen TV's, gadgets, luxuries and a philosophical passion wind throughout this mental adventure, where the object of the narrator's affection remains blissfully mysterious. Textured, vivid and thorough, this book is sure to intrigue aficionados of such sonnet sequences as those by William Shakespeare and Edna St. Vincent Millay.
