| Summary: | A fresh and modern take on one of the most classic poetic forms in the Western literary tradition. "What if creatures in other galaxies / have a vague sense that something is missing / but don't know it's Little Richard, Shakespeare / and cornbread with plum jam?" In this collection, Robert Thomas presents eighty nontraditional sonnets that explore love and jealousy, the traditional obsessions of sonnets, from nontraditional angles. Other galaxies are jealous of Earth in these heartbreaking, funny, ecstatic, profound and never boring poems. |
