The present volume, entitled Later Sonnets, continues the writer's exploration of the classical form. If the earlier work drew upon the eighteenth century and the language of the law, here the hand is surer, the voice more seasoned, and the reflections more tempered by experience.

The poems remain serious in their general cast, yet moments of wit and humanity are not absent. They range across the landscape of the human spirit, considering with candour its trials, renewals, and quiet revelations. Once again, the writer respectfully submits this collection to the discernment of his readers, whether they approach in sympathy, in judgement, or perhaps both.
