With an urban anthropologist's sense of the rich hodgepodge that constitutes a culture, and a pilgrim's sense of discovery and wonderment, Philip Dacey delivers his New York City to us in this enormously appealing series of sonnets he calls postcards. As ever, he demonstrates how form can harness the inchoate, discipline the disparate. Dacey collects the city's language, he limns its neighborhoods, and he does so with wit and elan. If eros can be thought of as life-fulness, these poems are erotic. Stephen Dunn

jazzy sonnets,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The New York Postcard Sonnets (Perfect Paperback)
Dacey plays around with the sonnet form, and some are sort of cool, but to be honest I can't remember much a couple weeks later. Worth reading if you are a Dacey fan.
