An ambitious, intricately wrought corona of sonnets ponders the nature of belonging in every sense of the word.

Belongings as possessions, as the history and furnishings of a life, and as the places in which life itself happens are the preoccupations at the heart of this affecting collection. Moving from memories of a childhood apartment to mourning for the poet's mother, Belongings explores the question: "Where, how, and to what do you belong?"

About the Author:
Sandra M. Gilbert is a distinguished literary critic, professor, and poet. She lives in Berkeley, CA.
Review:
The sonnet, here, seems new and immediate, the rhythmic instrument of a searching, obsessive voice. -- San Francisco Chronicle

These are poems both implacable and powerful, at home in the imagination's twin processes of being and longing. -- Los Angeles Times
