Description: Extra Illicit Sonnets chronicles a love affair between a man and a woman of different complexions, cultures, continents, and generations, Sonia Fuentes of Andorra and Luca Xifona of Canada. She is Spanish in heritage; and he is Maltese. She is a Boomer and he is of Generation Y-Not. The poetry consists mainly of unrhymed - or blank - sonnets. It is transcendent and dangerous verse because it addresses humanity's most complex and volatile passion.
Review Quotes: "Powerful language fires poetry of Clarke in Traverse." --The Chronicle Herald
