Killarnoe by Sonnet L'abbe

Killarnoe by Sonnet L'abbe

With its razzle-dazzle wordplay and kaleidoscope of subjects, Sonnet L'Abb 's second collection of poems is a tour-de-force. L'Abb invents her own unique poetics, coupling a glittering variety of patterns with tumbling rhythms and rhymes. And with this refreshed language, she reconsiders all the rules for twenty-first-century life. The poems work like a whirlwind, ranging from the intimacy of infancy to the shock of whole civilizations razed by war, and are infused with a political undertone that reveals a child's emerging understanding of identity, of specific citizenship, of bodies physical and psychological, of language, imagination, and dream. Whether funny or funky, candid or subtle, amused and ironic or stunned in fright, the poems are guided by a fierce intelligence that never oversimplifies the world. Killarnoe, the poet tells us, is a place I invented right now. I just built it from my head. And in its reconsideration of what it means to be, Killarnoe is fascinating, charged, and inspired.
