AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A collection of 100 poems in a ten line form for which Alex Skovron has coined the name "sonnetina". The poems reflect upon time and destiny, on culture, music and art, on the sacred and the mundane. They investigate terrains both social and inner, probing our daily confrontations with the self. (Back cover)
