The Wild Sonnets: Volume IV (301-400)

This fourth book of Wild Sonnets contains some of my more personal poems, while continuing the search for way to imaginatively compress a sequence of emotions into the span of fourteen lines. I think there is an easier flow to most of the work here, and yet the lines are always leaning into what is musical in language, while making unexpected connections between images and what we feel.
