About the book
Sondra Faye was addicted to poetry at an early age. “Play infinity” was first published by a small press; when she was living on Waverly Place in the West Village in New York City. A couple years after publication, it was performed at the 13th Street Theatre in New York City with a few actors and Merce Cunningham Dancers and music composed by Sondra Faye.
Some poems are written about her life in both Boston, Massachusetts and Manhattan. When she lived with her schnauzer Velvet on Hemenway Street in Boston; she attended Northeastern University and worked at a bakery in Faneuil Hall Marketplace. After a year in Boston, she decided to go to New York University, and completed play infinity while there.
A multi-media artist she considers herself simply as a human being that likes to create stuff. Her intention for anyone reading this book is that they will stay inspired & play infinity.

Review
Sondra Faye’s ‘Play Infinity’ is not just a collection of poems to be read and forgotten; her words, so simple yet profound, are to be read, cherished and re-read. Her style is a blend of candor, compassion, bravado and truth. Her approach to life is sharp and incisive. I felt her poetry peers into the deep hollows of being human and illuminates our darkest predicaments. Some of my personal favourites are play infinity fifty-four, play infinity fifty-one, play infinity thirty-nine, play infinity thirty to name a few.
Faye’s poems are open to interpretation. Her poetry outlines a sustained meditation on all walks of life, be it the sublime or something that is inconsequential. She speaks of heartbreaks that are relatable and therein lays the poet’s credibility. She has numbered her poems instead of coming up with individual titles. It is a good thing. Much like life, abrupt and spontaneous. It also justifies the title of her collection: play infinity. But not all that she writes is good. Some poems do not make sense even when read over and over. A few do not qualify as poetry for they are just one-liners. I think we can overlook that and enjoy the rest. All in all a good read.
