Things are fina...Hi Kat, Willow, Sandra & Jen:<br /><br />Things are finally calming down (more so by tomorrow afternoon) & I'm so looking forward to it-- sorry to not respond to these sooner!<br /><br />Kat: Thanks-- yes, Cummings is quirky but worth reading.<br /><br />Willow: Excellent point to bring up Edna St. Vincent Millay, definitely a prolific 20th century sonnet writer, who worked in the Italian sonnet form.<br /><br />Sandra: Thanks!<br /><br />Jen: Geez, my response to this comment was in my response to your comment on today's post! (see opening statement here), so I'll respond to that one here, & say I'll check out blurb.com for sure. I'm leaning toward lulu.com since it gives me a venue for selling some without having to make a minimum order--they print on demand. Am still dragging my feet (for various reasons) & have been shokcingly busy on top of that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15687192784861682991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-9294702323482938492009-05-21T07:49:57.641-07:002009-05-21T07:49:57.641-07:00cummings - possibly my favorite poet - i had no id...cummings - possibly my favorite poet - i had no idea he wrote sonnets. i learn a lot from you, too. (Kat's comment). I love Edna St. Vincent Millay, too. (Willow's comment.) <br /><br />I may have mentioned this b/f, so forgive the repeat, but my father wrote a French sonnet ONE TIME. He said it was the most difficult poetry (maybe he meant sonnet) form to master. It was my favorite poem he ever wrote, but it has been lost or miplaced, possibly forever. Have you ever written a French sonnet? If so, I'd dearly love to read it.Jennifer Chronicles (jenx67.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14420405638287265650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-5924474788532741242009-05-20T14:33:50.395-07:002009-05-20T14:33:50.395-07:00Interesting, indeed.

I...Excellent! I learn so much from you--everytime.<br /><br />I am not too familiar with cummings, save for some few pieces read in school. I really love the quirkiness of his rhymes, his use of odd characters and the way he configures the words themselves. <br />My reading list grows long!<br /><br />KatKat Mortensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877694888419628533noreply@blogger.com
