Donne's "Holy Sonnets" demonstrate poetic structure's ability to build tension and release. Some scientists believe that this structure enables a rush of dopamine as we consume poetry.

I used to find the work of contemporary poets intimidating and inaccessible. Now it makes up 20% of my reading. Here's how that happened.

Mnemosyne: Sonnets of Lost Time is complete. I just wrote the final sonnet in this collection and will try to resist the temptation to change their order or to revise. Usually, one’s first decision is the best (well, usually). Inscribed and dedicated to my godmother, Emily Ryll, who loved all things classical. I am happy. Will celebrate tonight. 🥂

Greetings, Everyone! I've had several questions about the publication date of SONNET, Volume II. The journal's editorial board has voted to change the journal from annual to biennial, meaning that the second volume will come out in 2020 and, afterward, the journal will be published every second year: 2020, 2022, 2024, and so on.

We've taken this action for a variety of reasons, but primarily due to time constraints in the publication schedule. We simply need more time to write and publish this excellent journal. The good news is that we are extending the submission deadline to June 30, 2020 in order to accept poetry, short stories, book & article reviews, research, and personal response pieces. We've had several requests for deadline extension and now are happy to announce that we can do so.

Volume II of SONNET is titled, "The Sonnets of Dante" and all Dante-themed work and reviews are welcome. So be of good cheer, poetry friends. The journal will come out in 2020 (a very unique year) for your reading pleasure. The work submitted thus far is of wonderful quality, and we extend a further invitation to join the journal family with your own submissions and poetry!
Best,
Barb & the Editorial Board of SONNET
