Paul Schaefer plays with form-sonnets, villanelles, ballads, blank verse-contrasting everyday experience with formal poetic structure. The final pages of the book contain notes illuminating the references and inspiration for a limited number of the poems. Most of Schaefer's poems are self-explanatory, centered on quotidian life, revealing fundamental truths that come from a life of doing the basics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul J.
