Description
Sonnets For Agnodice is an array of work which burrows into the heart of a human diaspora. It is a world-view crafted through the eyes, ears and experience of an insane chain of circumstance. Additionally, it honors the courage of those who have forged the paths that we late arrivals have had the privilege to walk; be that the presence of female physicians (thanks to Agnodice) or the population of the American Bison (thanks to Billy Hofer). The work ranges from epic styling, to modern grit and still manages a sprinkling of mirth, when the weight is in want of a periodic lightening. There is much to unpack in Novak's concise collection of hard-hitting lines.
