This thoughtful and beautifully written collection of sonnets virtually jumps off the page and into your head and heart.
Redolent with emotion and keen observation, each section can stand alone in strength and sagacity. But together in one book, this collection of sonnets is graceful and creatively contemplative.
The writing style is intelligent, sensitive, and incandescent. Coupled with a robust vocabulary and a knack for creating vivid word pictures that virtually jump off the page and into your head and heart, this collection of sonnets is quite an achievement.
It's a thoughtful work that's meant to be sipped and savored slowly, like fine wine. Indeed, readers are likely to return again and again for additional helpings of this finely crafted collection.

Sonnets of Love and Joy, a collection that is a welcome uplift for these...times, when the effort to capture joy and love is too often replaced by angst and a sense of doom.
Here lies respite from the modern crisis that provides existential relief and a sense of well-being. Here, too, is relief from the less seasoned free verse format, returning stricter rules to the poetic effort while demonstrating that it can remain accessible to contemporary audiences.
[E]ach poem contains a grounding in landscape and a heart throb of emotional connection that inspects the various facets and incarnations of love and joy in the world.
Sonnets of Love and Joy's diverse, spirited life connections reach out to readers to capture and describe moments of harmony, awakening, and interconnectedness with life and nature...the perfect example of how poetry's forms and rules remain relevant to modern living.
-Midwest Book Review
Buchheit sets himself up against some of the literary greats. It's a difficult task but there are moments of great beauty and exquisite insight in Sonnets of Love and Joy for which Buchheit should be applauded.
Sonnets of Love and Joy collects beautifully crafted and unapologetically old-fashioned poems on a variety of subjects. Paul Buchheit's skills as a poet are clear, and traditionalists will find much to treasure in this contemporary call back to the poetry of the past.
