This is a beautiful and inspiring post. "But it was the sonnet, that vessel, that was the only thing I knew that was experienced enough to guide me through grief, what I have never known." It is about as strong an argument for writing in received forms that I have ever read. Thank you.

A deeply thoughtful post, as precise as it is inclusive. I especially appreciated how you once found the sonnet as a place of "induced borders" only later to find that this very containment might be a place of solace. Just great stuff, Laurie...

I think your ideas are excellent, and I am very grateful for John Keats. I have benefited enormously from his poems and your explanations.

I saw your story and thought it was sad, but it was very wonderful.
