If you are, like me, endlessly fascinated with the sonnet and all it can hold, you’ll want to get yourself a copy of The American Sonnet: An Anthology of Poems and Essays by Dora Malechand Laura T. Smith which will be released tomorrow by University Of Iowa Press. From Phyllis Wheatley to Diane Suess, from Muriel Rukeyser to Patricia Smith, this anthology captures the flexibility and durability of the form. In addition to sonnets old and new, there are essays following each entry. A true delight of a book!
