Image of bookcover of Sonnets by Charles Gerard Timm

My debut poetry collection is 33 poems that, in sequence, tell a story of what sonnet sequences are often about — impossible love. ReadingOtherPeople calls it, "Sonic . . . lustrous . . . more effective than a piece of fiction." Tony Riches, author of the Tudor Trilogy, says, "These sonnets bring a relevant, contemporary feel . . . and show what is possible within the constraint of fourteen lines." And critic Jim Bennett says, "This work, in its best examples . . . encroaches on the quality of Shakespeare and Milton." I bind each copy by hand.
