Yvonne Nunn, a leading contemporary American sonneteer, shares a treat as delicious as a triple-dipped ice cream cone in this collection of 26 sonnets served in such exotic flavors as the Marianne, Blank-verse and Variable sonnet forms, along with the standard favorites, Shakespearean, Petrarchan and Italian sonnets. The greeting-card-gift-sized book is sure to delight all lovers of fine sonnets. Nunn 's sonnets are attractively served on whipped-cream-white paper with pistacchio-green print accented with a sprinkling of strawberry-red ink. Lines like I hear of perfect places thick with trees,/ with floating wispy mists atop green scenes/ where angels ladle soup from gold tureens/ as though all graves are open jubilees and When minute creatures feed at banquet feasts/ their wit outfoxes mammoth hordes of beasts make this book the kind of page-turner one can 't put down on first reading, and to which the reader will surely return time after time.
