Jupiter Moments

Beschreibung

JUPITER MOMENTS: represents those "moments of transcendence" in our lives that bring hope and rebirth to us in a seemingly hopeless world. Using the blank-verse sonnet form; Ballard uses the sonnet as an "IF-THEN-CLAUSE;" if the Octave is true; then the Sestet must be true. These sonnets by Ballard mark a path of light for us, in a seemingly dim world.
