A fresh and modern take on one of the most classic poetic forms in the Western literary tradition. "What if creatures in other galaxies / have a vague sense that something is missing, / but don' t know it' s Little Richard, Shakespeare, / and cornbread with plum jam? " In this collection, Robert Thomas presents eighty nontraditional sonnets that explore love and jealousy-the traditional obsessions of sonnets-from nontraditional angles. Other galaxies are jealous of Earth in these heartbreaking, funny, ecstatic, profound, and never boring poems.
Robert Thomas' s novella Bridge received the PEN Center USA Literary Award for Fiction. His first poetry collection, Door to Door, was selected by Yusef Komunyakaa for the Poets Out Loud Prize, and his second, Dragging the Lake, was published by Carnegie Mellon University Press. He has received an NEA Fellowship and a Pushcart Prize, and he lives with his wife in Oakland, California.
