Crawlspace

>The second book by the author of *Houses*, *CRAWLSPACE* collects thirty-six pieces built on the foundation of the sonnet, ranging in length from fourteen lines to longer works stacking multiple sonnets into linked sequences. *CRAWLSPACE* deepens and extends the house metaphor from Wallschlaeger’s first book, while opening up more initmate and sometimes darker intellectual territory. Where Houses explored the mental/emotional/physical sheltered spaces in which we live out and construct our lives, Crawlspace explores the the more constricted spaces, the tighter concealed passages running above and below. These sonnets aim to be “very very fraught with you.” - publisher
