Truths in Verse

Masner's exploration of poetic forms takes us from the anticipated sonnet and haiku to the complete surprise of the Ghazal and Luc Bat. "In his introductory essay, where he argues that 'even air has a form, ' through the panoply of forms in the book, to his useful glossary, Masner seeks to connect his own life to the life of the art," according to David J. Rothman, 2019 Pushcart Prize winner. Masner's book is a feast of poetic verse forms perfectly plated . . . palpably tasteful.
