Reviews
We are left vulnerable within the soundscape of Glowicka’s fantastical realm. The sonnet itself carries a biblical tone, elevating professed love to a godly status. This can be interpreted in Glowicka’s transcendent arrangement, where this singular voice is liberated from the body of the quartet by technology. Glowicka, like Shakespeare, leaves us in exquisite ambiguity, at peace whether we have met our end or reached a new beginning. Perhaps it is here in this paradox, in thy soul’s thought, all naked, that we are truly free to love.
