Armbrust writes sonnets on a variety of themes, primarily addressed to his muse and his lovers. Since 1979, when his first book of poetry went to press, he continues to write, as if he opens a vein to pour his own blood onto the page to do it.

In this book of 126 sonnets, the poet invites us to walk with him as his creative sense takes us through every mood of nature on earth, and to the universe beyond. Imagery’s connections turn hearing 2 a.m. rain into Hemingway’s and James Dickey’s typewriter keys, leading the poet to write. Each poem seems to meld us to relationships.
 

Roger Armbrust, after a career as national news editor of Backstage magazine in New York City and teaching writing at New York University, returned to his hometown of Little Rock, Arkansas, where he has written a novel, published three e-zines, and produced several volumes of poetry, of which this is one.
