“An Eerie Calm Before the Night- A Collection of Sonnets” by Jack Huber
(review written March 14th, 2009)
Jack is as skillful with the images he captures with his camera as he is when he is painting them with words. His sonnets entertain and inform the reader as his pictures fill your vision.
While reading his new collection “An Eerie Calm Before the Night- A Collection of Sonnets”, I was drawn to a poem called “A Phoenix Rises”. This poem aptly describes the sudden, frightening devastation that a tornado wreaks on a town and its inhabitants, so vividly, in fact, that you think you’re in the middle of one.
And I couldn’t take my eyes off this next piece, reading it over and over again. “The Heron” is a masterful play on words that is a delight to both the ear and the eye. Jack’s artistry and playfulness brought a smile to my face by the end of this short sonnet. His photos show such a variety and are clear and clean; his composition, precise without being postured.
I highly recommend reading this book!
