“Smart, syntactically complex, and tonally various, this is a remarkable suite
of sonnets.” — Kevin Prufer
“In these often charged, emotionally resonant sonnets, Greenwald at once praises
the tradition and critiques received ideas as he sings in Western poetry’s most lauded
and accessible form.” — Aliki Barnstone
“Greenwald composes with a rich emotional and intellectual vocabulary, and the
music of his poetry is haunting and beautiful. This is important work by a poet
I admire.” — Jay Parini
