In this, her third book of poetry, Eléna Rivera uses the English sonnet as a scaffold to explore daily events, observations, conversations, thoughts, words, and memories—and to reflect on the work of earlier poets and the relationship between life and literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGuided by formal and syllabic constraints, the poems become in part an exploration of how form affects content and how other poets have approached the sonnet. The poems, which are very attentive to rhythm and sound, are often in conversation with historical, philosophical, artistic, and literary sources. But at the same time, they engage directly with the present moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLike the construction scaffolding that year after year goes up around buildings all over New York, these poems build on one another and change the way we see what was there before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47598117814508,"sku":"9780691172262","price":49.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/a67e805d1adc640e3003a2996ddbe2ba.jpg?v=1778027170"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/elena-rivera.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
