Synopsis

There is much to delight one in David Shaddock’s trademark eleven-syllable sonnets: gems for the eye and ear, a remarkable tenderness in the poems of marriage and family, a way of writing about the political from direct personal experience.

—Alan Williamson, Warren Wilson College, author, Franciscan Notes and Dante and the Night Journey

In these times, David Shaddock’s ability to find meaning and consolation in the small events and encounters of our lives is an invaluable gift.

His subjects range from the mundane to the catastrophic, encompassing domestic life in long term marriage, to climate change, to meditations on grief and loss, to, in the books final section, personal retellings of the Psalmist’s longing for, and arguments with, God.
