BestThinking.com is a place to find a lot of poetry by R. Allen Shoaf."There is a lot of recovery in Al Shoaf's Erotic Reckonings, a lot of passion or, as we are reminded, suffering. Perhaps that is the reckoning implied in the title. Nevertheless, the unexpected wonder of this book is that it concerns itself with nothing less than the eternal: that which bonds and binds. In saecula saeculorum indeed!”–Peter Huggins, author of In the Company of Owls and Necessary Acts

Shoaf, R. Allen
