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.
