Poetry. If you appreciate the writing of Charles Simic, you'll enjoy Bruce McRae's THE SO-CALLED SONNETS. A gun-slinging sage and humanistic sponge of vernacular sensitivity, his poetry expresses a razor-sharp sadness amid a wasteland of lost souls. Contemporary, and yet unique, he appears to have lived several lifetimes with high octane observation, giving new life to the sonnet form. Another great book from the offices of Silenced Press.
