Makes You Stop and Think is a collection written over fifty years, from the accomplished and renowned poet Daniel Hoffman. "The sonnet… is a sacred / vessel, it takes a civilization / to conceive its shape or know / its uses," the poet Louise Bogan told "a crowd of bearded youths" and "rumpled girls." Hoffman's harvest of half a century's sonnets shows the richness and power of their form.
