Reality Check
word sonnets

This Book of fourteen single word line sonnets
comes to us from Israel:
“The
purple
necklace
you
gave
me
is
all
wrong
but
I
wear
it
anyway”
The poems are as clear as a bright sky, as water
splashed over our faces, as a kiss after we read.
We are refreshed by Friesem's clarity and brevity:
“In
business
class
they
have
plastic
partitions.
In
economy
class
we
have
one
another”
Within each of these sonnets is an entire story
and often it is our own story.”
“The
more
particles
you
discover
the
more
there'll
be
to
discover.
Good
job
security”
My only criticism is the icon (eye glasses) on each and every
opposite page from the poem. The poems are powerful enough
to keep the readers attention, a blank page would lend
to the brevity the poems impart. A good buy and a great read.
