Whimsy, Reticence & Laud: Unruly Sonnets

Poetry. "In these lush sonnets by Grace Grafton, the wild and the cultivated often collide. Here the habit of observation and the outcome of wonder produce a passionate immersion in the sensate pleasures of both language and being, where the weathers of the body, the floats and drifts of memory, and the bone and yearn of everyday life intersect and bring us into a place 'where blue's ease slips in,' a molten language captures us, and laud is a natural response."—Tobey Hiller
