Overview

Stripping the book of Proverbs of its customary delineation by chapter and verse, Richard G. Moulton reclothes the words of wisdom in sonnets and monologues in The Proverbs. Allowing the inherent parallelism to shine, Moulton explores the Proverbs through rhetorical and metrical structure, allowing the stanzas to form organically rather than forcing them into arbitrary constructs, thus allowing these ancient words to take on new life and meaning.
