With its razzle-dazzle wordplay and kaleidoscope of subjects, Sonnet L'Abb???'s second collection of poems is a tour-de-force. L'Abb??? invents her own unique poetics, coupling a glittering variety of patterns with tumbling rhythms and rhymes. And with this refreshed language, she reconsiders all the rules for twenty-first-century life.
