And it can do a lot more, as well. Shaped by the author's love of patterns, informed by his expertise in linguistics, and rooted in deep emotion, this volume is a collection of formal poems with a serious tone. By turns inspiring, meditative, joyful, and despondent, the poems in this collection showcase the power of meter, rhyme, alliteration, assonance, dialect combination, and other methods of form manipulation to help us grapple with the mysteries of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume is part of the author's Levities and Gravities project, which demonstrates the value of linguistic form in poetry and highlights poetry's ability to evoke any emotion, whether light or heavy.
