Böcker av Anne Johnson Mullin

As a five-year-old, the author experienced WWII in the snug embrace of her grandparents' home, with only minor disruptions. Memories - confusing, humorous, always vivid -- led to these poems.

Mullin updates the sonnet's content with musings on "quotidian" events - the evening news, shopping for clothes, a baseball pitcher, a Derby winner -- while also showcasing a deep appreciation of the natural world. She uses the traditional fourteen lines and a variety of rhyme schemes to explore the sonnet form itself.
