Klappentext Imagine moving at the speed of thought through a sense-engulfing place--a city street! carnival! airport lobby . . . or your life. You have no time to process these sounds! sights! smells! and other psycho-sensory bulges--but no way either to keep them from flooding the inner world you're forever on the verge of sorting out. That! in part! is the experience of reading these sixty-nine sonnets! each of them a multidimensional! kaleidoscopic crossroad where organic form! awareness! memory/history! intellect! and the human heart merge into specificity! like light at the end of a tunnel. "The Boston Review" has said this of Truitt's poetry: "Cunning formal maneuverings provide the distance and displacement needed to rattle the teeth of syntax and alter the current beat. As a reader! one gets caught up in the frenzy. There is the pleasure of verbal abandon and the reassurance of visual control. There is the perpetually keyed-up anticipation of anything-could-happen-here." And it does. Zusammenfassung Sixty-nine sonnets, each of them a multidimensional, kaleidoscopic crossroad where organic form, awareness, memory/history, intellect, and the human heart merge into specificity, like light at the end of a tunnel.
