As with his two previous titles for Magra Books, Desert Sequence and 17 Meditations on Time, Dennis Phillips continues his explorations into harmony and time with this sequence of 14-line poems, Sonnets. His rhythms respond to the pulse of everyday life, with a language consistently tuneful and precise. From his readings of Dante to the early sunlight lending grace to the trees outside his window, the poet steadfastly dwells in these brief excursions.
