In these 122 sonnets, poet Roger Armburst escorts readers on an insightful journey throughout Earth and beyond. We experience the loneliness and inspiration of The Aesthetic Astronaut, passion and sense of the romantic lover, reflective memories of a gentle heart growling older, ironic vision of an observer to history, and subtle- and sometimes not so subtle- humor of a fellow human involved in our day to day challenge of living a worthwhile life. The poets imagery and attitude- from When Love Was A Fudgesicle to Waterboarding a Cat to Plancenta to We Say Goodbye to the Dying- may fascinate you, thrill you, sadden you, anger you, push you to laughter or mediation. But you'll find the trip a fascinating literary ride.
