'Flight' Summary
"The Flight" is a collection of sonnets by Lloyd Mifflin, an American poet who turned to writing after a career in art. Mifflin's sonnets explore themes of love, loss, nature, beauty, and the passage of time. They are written in a lyrical style, using vivid imagery to evoke a sense of wonder and emotion. The collection's title, "The Flight," suggests a journey, both physical and spiritual. Mifflin's poems often touch upon themes of escape and longing, as well as the ephemeral nature of beauty. His work is characterized by its introspective nature and exploration of the human experience. In "The Flight," Mifflin delves into the complexities of human emotions and the search for meaning in a world that often feels fleeting and uncertain. He uses the sonnet form to capture the essence of these themes, crafting intricate and moving poems that resonate with readers on a personal level.Book Details
