Críticas

"Through sound, vision and a plain spoken voice, these accessible sonnets create an immediate resonance within, bringing this poetic form to the everyday reader and begging each one to be read over and over again." -- Raymond Hammond "Editor, The New York Quarterly"

"I have known and admired Roger Armburst's poems for many years. But when Roger met the sonnet... he quickly turned the window-like form into a window on a world--his. And what a rich, varied world it is." -- H. A. Maxson "Poet, Author of On the Sonnets of Robert Frost: A Critical Examintation of the 37 Poems"

"This bobbing, weaving, trembling, shaking collection is long overdue!"
---Amy Fusselman, author of "The Pharmicist's Mate"

"Roger Armbrust's contemporary sonnets plunge right to the core both of the matter and the reader. These
accessible sonnets create an immediate resonance within, bringing this poetic form to the everyday reader
and begging each one to be read over and over again."
---Raymond Hammond, editor, "The New York Quarterly"
"

"I have know and admired Roger Armbrust's poetry for many years. When Roger met the sonnet, he
quickly turned it into a window on his rich and varied world. Some of his sonnets are delicate, yet they
often displaymuscular rhythyms and playful fimes--but he knows when they need to be just that."
---H. A. Maxson, poet and author of "On the Sonnets of Robert Frost: A Critical Examination of the 37 Poems""

Reseña del editor

In these 122 sonnets, poet Roger Armbrust escorts readers on an insightful journey throughout Earth and beyond. We experience the loneliness and instpiration of "the Aesthetic Astronaut"; cold-blooded calculations of "The Armchair Assassin"; passion and sense of the romantic lover; reflective memories of a gentle heart growing older; ironic vision of an observer to history, and subtle--and sometimes not so subtle--humor of a fellow human involved in our day-to-day challenge of living a worthwhile life. The poet's imagery and attitude. . . may fascinate, thrill, sadden, anger, or push you to laughter or meditation. But you'll find the trip a fascinating literary ride.
