Re-collected over six decades, these love poems show Michael Sharkey to be a true master of the sonnet form. They demonstrate Sharkey the poet at his very best, not only dextrous, but generous, touching, wide-ranging and surprising.

The poems are as manifold as there are different kinds of love: erotic, romantic, familial, and friendship. This book is destined to become a classic of its kind.

What if I Told You? presents an exquisite exploration of love in its many forms.
