Summary: Compilation of poems about the binding ties of relationships
Review: Award-winning author Mark Wunderlich presents Voluntary Servitude, a compilation of poems about the binding ties of relationships and the effects of tension that push such bonds to the breaking point. The sad yet real risk of exposure to emotional harm and loss is a prevalent theme in this powerful, gut-wrenching collection. The Room: What I offered you / was more than words on paper. / Now it is as if I viewed a night sky / and saw no planet upon which / we could pin our earnest conversation. / Inside me, there is a room no one will come to. / I have shuttered its five grave windows, / swept clean its smooth, reflective floor / and the key is somewhere I don't remember.
