77 Love Sonnets
'If you've occasionally wished that the news from Lake Wobegon contained more erotic poetry - and really, who hasn't? - then you'll want to get your hands on Garrison Keillor's 77 Love Sonnets - Keillor's original poems of courtship, heartbreak and frank carnal desire, all of it well suited to the author's folksy, avuncular voice' - New York Times. 'The book proves that the sonnet is still alive and kicking. Keillor enlarges our sense of what the old 14-liner can do - After years as a poetry impresario, Garrison Keillor has blown his cover. It won't be possible to think of him anymore as only an engaging radio personality, a diverting humorist, an able novelist, essayist and political commentator, a friend of other people's verse, but as a poet of force and originality himself, a fresh and yet familiar voice to be reckoned with' - X.J. Kennedy, Contemporary Poetry Review.--This text refers to an alternatePaperbackedition.
