The Wonderfull Yeare by Nate Pritts ISBN: 978-0-9841928-2-3 Paperback, 67 pages Mary Biddinger, author of Prairie Fever and Saint Monica, says: If the twenty-first century falls victim to a sudden plague, then The Wonderfull Yeare will be its sole antidote. In his collection of pastorals and anti-pastorals, sonnets and anti-sonnets, Pritts proves that the annus mirabilis need not contain monumental breakthroughs like those of Newton and Einstein to justify its wonders. Then isn't to say that these poems lack gravity or electricty, because the opposite is true. With revelations both calamitous and quotidian, Pritts makes us reconsider the entire notion of the calendar, as "Leaves unfold & collect sunlight.//It is the second before everything."
