About The Book
The poet, when young, listened to a violinist practicing and wondered: “Could words as well be made to say the wordless?” This question animates Keener Sounds: A Suite, a sequence of contemporary sonnets in which music as both subject and inspiration accompanies evocative explorations of love, grief, time, and memory. With a bold lyricism, Roger Greenwald makes the sonnet form his own, both vital and new. Paintings by Arielle Sandler serve as intermezzos between the sections of this moving poetic suite.

Raves and Reviews
“Smart, syntactically complex, and tonally various,
this is a remarkable suite of sonnets.” — Kevin Prufer
“In these often charged, emotionally resonant
sonnets, Greenwald at once praises the tradition
and critiques received ideas as he sings in Western
poetry’s most lauded and accessible form.” --- Aliki Barnstone
“Greenwald composes with a rich emotional and
intellectual vocabulary, and the music of his poetry
is haunting and beautiful. This is important work
by a poet I admire.” — Jay Parini
