Bag om Sonnets from a Floating Life

However, his compositions in rich verse are created for the contemporary reader. Applying tempered imagery to his poetic vision, Don describes himself in lines of his sonnet titled WILD. "I, the poet, sit here singing my songs, My songs over and over, back and forth Like an excited caged beast who belongs In the wild blackness of the Dipper's North. I say that Poetry is a feeling And I possess enough of lyric bent To taste a bestial newness when I sing..."
