Publisher's Synopsis
IN WHOM IS MY DELIGHT is a collection of five chapbooks written between 2007 and 2015 by underground poet, and sometimes performer, Tad Cornell (T. H. Cornell). These modern sagas exalt reality and exult in the unity of goodness, truth, and beauty. Combining a Catholic sensibility, in the spirit of G. K. Chesterton, with a contemporary idiom, this narrative adventure celebrates the mystery of Christ and the glory of the English language. "Spectaculum" is an extended poem cycle journeying into the hidden life of Nazareth. "The Red Lawn" is a social worker's interior monologue during a day of crisis, employing Dante's rhyme scheme in The Divine Comedy. "Stooped in My Brain's Amygdala" is free verse in nine cantos ala a modern William Blake, documenting a researcher's epic struggle for sanity. "Suite No. 1 for Vertical Table in G Major" is a confession in six movements. "The Garden of the Moon" is a collection of seventeen English sonnets written "to the body," meant as homage to both Shakespeare's genius and the wisdom of John Paul II.
