In these ominous, often playful, always witty and sublimely sexual sonnets Friedberg conjures the romance of the brink, his speaker Everyman seeking to redeem the uncomfortable union of body and soul, dignified by the exquisite function of his intellect/humbled by the licit function of his flesh. God's foibles complicate: It's in the grotesque that's made manifest the very mind of God. Yet in a series of poems based on Renaissance iconography, we find moving expressions of spiritual connectedness. As well, a poetical gerbil, having grudgingly licked molasses from his deity's finger, resumes work on his . . . long, discursive piece on the states of existence, the spectrum from pure matter to pure myth, from being merely a thing to being merely meaning.
