I've always thought the sonnet is such a daunting form. And you're so good at it while being prolific in your own natural, contemporary voice. Your ideas and plans taken me back to what I loved about studying literature (well, and writing, too) back in college. The old school stuff, none of this "Who is John Donne and why should I care" attitude, but a genuine passion for poetry. Enjoy your summer!

This is a great read for a newbie Substacker! Thanks! Hope you have a great summer, and say hi to the Colorado for me if you get a chance. ;)

This all sounds very good--a solid approach. I do admire your work ethic, as well as your work. It requires deep focus, and you give to it as it asks and demands of you.

I wish for you the summer that you have sketched out--may it fill with colour!
