Coronary

A cycle of 24 sonnets, Coronary (2011) is a limited-edition poetry collection printed by Fitzgerald Letterpress in New Orleans. Now in its fourth edition (2019), copies are available at independent bookstores in the New Orleans area, at Main Street Books in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, and at Looking Glass Books in Edinburgh.

The Literateur: “[Coronary] has an honesty of voice and an acuteness of observation for spaces where physical and metaphysical meet … that is reminiscent of Robert Lowell’s Life Studies. … Crisply-woven sentences provide a fine lacquer for these vignettes of filial compassion, slipping down the avenues of memory, affection and place.”
