You have no time to process these sounds, sights, smells, and other psycho-sensory bulges--but no way either to keep them from flooding the inner world you're forever on the verge of sorting out. That, in part, is the experience of reading these sixty-nine sonnets, each of them a multidimensional, kaleidoscopic crossroad where organic form, awareness, memory\/history, intellect, and the human heart merge into specificity, like light at the end of a tunnel. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Boston Review\u003c\/i\u003e has said this of Truitt's poetry: \"Cunning formal maneuverings provide the distance and displacement needed to rattle the teeth of syntax and alter the current beat. As a reader, one gets caught up in the frenzy. There is the pleasure of verbal abandon and the reassurance of visual control. There is the perpetually keyed-up anticipation of anything-could-happen-here.\" And it does.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sam Truitt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 082032504X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820325040\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Georgia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.32h x 6.36w x 0.27d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/19\/2003 pg. 68","brand":"Sam Truitt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47520299581695,"sku":"9780820325040","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b7c6e3c6-ad06-4720-b23a-eb4d5000a874.jpg?v=1762884757","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/vertical-elegies-5-sam-truitt-9780820325040","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
