The Lamp With Wings Love Sonnets

Virtuoso poet Albert Goldbarth returns with a new collection that describes the wonders of everyday people?overprotective parents, online gamblers, newlyweds, Hercules, and Jesus. In Goldbarth?s poetry?expansive, wild, and hilarious?he argues that our ordinary failures, heroics, joy, and grief are worth giving voice to, giving thanks for. Everyday People is an extraordinary new book by a poet who ?in thirty-five years of writing has amassed a body of work as substantial and intelligent as that of anyone in his generation? (William Doreski, The Harvard Review).
