TESTAMENT OF LOVE

A sonnet sequence -- by a former Pulitzer prize winner. Love poems, with a certain classical perfection, and a simplicity unusual among modernists. Subjective by nature, the accent more on the formalistic beauty of expression than intensity of emotion. There is a calm detachment, a philosophical undercurrent, much of beauty.
