From the Inside Out

The sonnet has evolved in the last hundred years into a more and more versatile poetic vehicle in the ingenious hands of such poets as Brian Daldorph. His new full-length collection of sonnets, From the Inside Out, might serve as a lexicon for the form, providing every variation of rhythm and rhyme scheme. Each sonnet presents a small verse drama narrated through or by protagonists, mostly ordinary men and women, telling, examining, trying to understand the story of their lives. --From Phil Miller, editor of The Same
