Featuring 52 villanelles, this collection explores diverse themes such as baseball, love, and war through a challenging poetic form. Each villanelle consists of 19 lines in iambic pentameter, adhering to a strict rhyme scheme, with the first and third lines repeated throughout. This unique structure demands both creativity and precision, making the poems not only technically impressive but also emotionally resonant. The collection pays homage to the rich tradition of villanelles, reminiscent of Dylan Thomas's celebrated work.
