I started a YouTube channel, as I continue to work to put sonnets into the world, and grow my reader- and listenership. This is a tough business. Whatever you can do to help spread the word; shares, follows, kind words, is deeply appreciated. Here is the link to the channel. Sonnet:visioN
You see, I have a vision for the sonnet. It is a timeless, perfect format perfected by Shakespeare in the late 1500s. I found inspiration in its disciplined form after the death of my father in 2019. The structure gave me guidance as I mourned my Dad through my poetry. Today, in 2024, I have barely scratched the surface of what a 21st century sonnet can accomplish. It can heal, inspire, and motivate. It can put words to the wonders of the mundane. All in 140 syllables; 10 per line over 14 well-formed lines.
