Yorty takes this traditional poetic form and skillfully uses it as a container for contemporary writing. With wit, honesty, a sharp eye and a touch of sass, Yorty reflects on myriad topics: urban life (specifically in New York City); the natural world; love, sex, and marriage; family and friendship; aging and mortality; language, teaching, and poetry itself. These poems invite the reader into community with a careful and caring observer of day-to-day simplicities that resonate on a larger scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDon Yorty is a poet, educator, and garden activist living in New York City. He is the author of two previous poetry collections, A Few Swimmers Appear and Poet Laundromat (both from Philadelphia Eye \u0026amp; Ear), and he is included in Out of This World, An Anthology of the Poetry of the St. Mark's Poetry Project, 1966-1991. His novel What Night Forgets was published by Herodias Press in 2000. He blogs at donyorty.com: an archive of current art, his own writing, and work of other poets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 114\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.31 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 01, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47351518626041,"sku":"9781945023224","price":21.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/OXhWUFpSek9jcFVlVjArWUlDM3FGUT09_2669222d-a12a-4d51-bd3d-5fc3193b0f2e.webp?v=1769800455","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/spring-sonnets-paperback-2","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
