From the Back Cover:

"In orchestrating his poetics, Gosslee creates a tricky dialog between the human and the ideal, between what we can and what we can't control. He accomplishes this with a combination of spontaneity and clearheaded distillation. This is the kind of work that comes around rarely."--Larry Fagin
"In John Gosslee's debut collection, 12, he chisels to perfection sonnets that masterfully treat the characters of the western zodiac. Lyrically intense, each poem portrays a compelling portrait that breathes new life into an age-old celestial system. With a musician's heart, an eye for detail, and stunning craftsmanship, Gosslee explores the intricacies of the twelve signs--from Aries to Pisces--while dazzling the reader with his descriptive powers. These are illuminating and memorable poems from a new and authentic voice."--Carolyn Kreiter-Foronda
