Poetry deserves perspective. As much as I am glad to make a space for my poems, I understand there is a greater conversation at play. The guest sonnet series is a place where voices, new and established, can be read and worked through. I am proud to devote this space to the work of others. If you wish to be a part of the conversation, look for the contribute link, below.
