Belongings
Poems
An ambitious, intricately wrought corona of sonnets ponders the nature of belonging in every sense of the word.
“Rendered with unobtrusive clarity, like scaffolding made of glass. . . . The sonnet, here, seems new and immediate, the rhythmic instrument of a searching, obsessive voice.”—San Francisco Chronicle
“These are poems both implacable and powerful, at home in the imagination’s twin processes of being and longing.”—Los Angeles Times
Sandra M. Gilbert, the author of six previous poetry collections and the winner of an American Book Award, lives in Berkeley, California
