The Feeling SonnetsEugene Ostashevsky In Eugene Ostashevskys The Feeling Sonnetshis fourth collection of poemswords, idioms, sentences, and poetic conventions are dislodged and defamiliarized in order to convey the experience of living in a land, and a language, apart. The book consists of four cycles of fourteen unrhymed, unmetered sonnets. The first cycle asks about the relationship between interpretation and emotion, whether we feel the feelings that we call ours.
