"If you have ever sat through a Sunday sermon questioning, wondering, parsing the minister"s words, Nancy Fisher"s dialogue with the preacher in Sunday Sonnets will speak to you. The sixteen sonnets, several of them sonnet sequences, explore the meaning of Biblical passages from Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Galatians, and Corinthians, using the preacher"s words and the poetic persona"s response, much as Socrates taught his young followers. Mary and Martha"s ancient dilemma, Lazarus"s awakening, the beggar"s eyesight restored-all these and many more familiar stories are rendered new through tight lines and the rigor demanded by the sonnet form-a collection worth reading and reading yet again."
