I Thought They’d Be Around Forever

Description

Can a seemingly anachronistic literary form—the sonnet—resonate with today's reader? Love, won and lost, is the sonnets mainstay—if not its reason for being. But the 114 sonnets in "I Thought They'd Be Around Forever" cover a wide range of topics not firmly fixed in love's literary embrace: nature, politics, human foibles, family, loss, race, greed, sex, death, grief, aging … and love, won and lost. Experience a captivating and intricately crafted collection of poetry like no other that addresses contemporary themes. Author James Baumgard is a Chicago native, long-time San Francisco resident who now lives, writes, and line dances in Corona, California.
