Domain: Poems - Softcover

The poems in Domain embody forces both generative and destructive, taking the reader into private and political, inner and outer spheres from sisters juggling oranges in the circus ring of a Renoir painting to a wedding ring lost from the hatch of Apollo 16 on its way back from the moon. In this tour de force of image and sound, Barbara Nickel mines a wealth of poetic forms: sonnets, glosas, a sestina, a triolet, free verse sequences, and invented and traditional treatments of line, rhyme, rhythm, and stanza.
