Beyond Where Words Can Go: A Novel in 200 Sonnets (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780872334007)

Beyond Where Words Can Go is so many things at once: a collection of finely wrought narrative sonnets; a deeply felt (and highly unusual) love story spanning decades; a meticulously researched account of 16th-century English ecclesiastical history and practice--all in the space of 2800 lines! With psychological precision, subtle humor, and unfailing empathy, Smith brings to life not just a few central characters, but an entire monastery full of vivid and indelible individuals. He has created an utterly original work of literature, as generous as it is sui generis.--Gary Krist, author of Trespassers at the Golden Gate and The Mirage Factory
