| Publisher Description: Finalist, 2021 Miller William Poetry Prize Craig Blais's Moon News deploys the sonnet form to treat subjects as diverse as Gregor Samsa, SpongeBob SquarePants, and the cosmos. Here the form's capaciousness is engaged to full effect. Blais, who turned to the sonnet as a method for focusing on the present in the early days of his recovery from alcoholism, confronts personal demons, loss, and the possibility for healing. These aren't your grandmother's sonnets--though you might find her pea soup recipe or sex tape in this remarkable second collection. |
