Makes You Stop and Think : Sonnets
Overview
The sonnet... is a sacred / vessel, it takes a civilization / to conceive its shape or know / its uses, the poet Louise Bogan told a crowd of bearded youths and rumpled girls. Hoffman's harvest of half a century's sonnets shows the richness and power of their form. These poems revel in exploring memory and feeling:
For reality is vintage and delicious
Especially when you taste it while it brews
Because it comes as love comes, heart-skip sudden,
Yet long as a lifetime in a once past wishes,
A gift you couldn't have the wit to choose.
