Mini Chapbook - The Worm Sonnets by Amelia Gorman

$8.00

WINNER of the first-annual Quarter Press, Mini Poetry Chapbook Contest!

"Amelia Gorman's Worm Sonnets imagines the earth bereft of people, populated instead by nematodes whose presence would maintain the appearance of our abandoned civilizations. Worm Sonnets is a collection of grief and reverence, immersing us in this imagined scenario through the ghost of a woman who reflects upon "before the world was worms and nothing else." Never losing touch with the mess of the human experience, Gorman's skilful voltas cause us to return to each poem's start, revealing rhymes so natural they are hardly noticeable on first read. While "an idea cut in half / can grow back two times," Worm Sonnets reminds us of our own limitations: regeneration as concept rather than materiality." - Kat Fallon, Contest Judge
