Sentenced to Venice is a masterful collection of poetry about the Italian city written with a twist -- each poem is a single sentence. "Kake Huck . . . lays open for us the perpetual play (or war) among art, sex, religion, and politics, her sharp observations drawing into focus the disparity between artifice and reality." -- Judith Montgomery, author of "Pulse and Constellation." "You. . . will travel in the company of poems so beautifully rendered you won't notice each is only one sentence long . . . such is the remarkable skill of the poet." -- Ellen Waterston, author "Hotel Domilicos" "Sentenced to Venice is a quirky, informed and irreverent homage to a great world city." -- Marion Davidson, Closeness of Ice
