Preface / Susanna Nied -- Butterfly valley.
Butterfly Valley is a tour de force, exploring the major themes of life, love, death and art. The form is simple yet complex, a sonnet sequence building to a final sonnet of extraordinary power. Life, love, art, all are transient--like the butterfly, yet beautiful, even in their ephemerality. --The Dedalus Press.
