Suppertime Sonnets: the Millennial Sequential Art Form
Congratulations to Kate Sherrod, for helping to turn blogging into the Millennial sequential art form it should be. Never before, perhaps never again in history have so many people been able to follow the up and down trials, dreams and passions of so many other people.
From 2009 to 2010, Sherrod wrote sonnets every day, and posted them on her blog (and she still does post new ones a few times a week). It's quite a feat. The best ones are now collected in paperback (here) entitled, Suppertime Sonnets. Kudos and props, Kate. (Hat tip: PM Blues.)

I'm honored that you posted here about
ReplyDeleteMy book and the weird blog behind it, dear
And edifying ToB! A shout
Is always much appreciated here!
This effort's changed my life; I'd recommend
A project of its like to anyone.
I've gained perspective, and more than one friend
And on the way I've had a lot of fun,
And proved that I could do it -- quite a boost
For anybody. Now I just can't quit!
Pentameter is in my blood; I've loosed
Iambic monsters on the world a bit.
I hope that folks enjoy them, and they try
To sonnetize, themselves, then, by and by.
Wow, Kate, a sonnetted comment! Very nice. :) I would answer in iambic pentameter, but then we'd have sonnets answering sonnets and we could be here til next week before we broke the chain...
