    About Like the Singing Coming off the Drums

    A dazzling exploration of the intimate and public landscapes of passion from the American Poetry Society’s 2018 Wallace Stevens Award–winner. 

    In haiku, tanka, and sensual blues, Sonia Sanchez writes of the many forms love takes: burning, dreamy, disappointed, vulnerable. With words that revel and reveal, she shares love’s painful beauty.
