Synopsis

Fledgling, by Sarah White, is a collection of twenty-eight sonnets on a range of themes, some autobiographical, some generally reflective. The title poem celebrates the fledgling goose, its first flight and mission as mate and member of its migratory society. In each poem, the classic fourteen lines are deployed in various ways to evoke my own travel destinations over the years and, finally, to create a “crown” of seven sonnets inspired by memories of the author’s mother and reflections on her complex character as a parent. Thus, the sonnet form generates, as it has for centuries, both narrative and argument.
