Classical Poets in a Modern World: Pursuing Poetry as a Vocation - Ep 10 (1/2) 📜✨

[@wildsonnets]

Already am a classical poet - and thank you for posing the mantle as a real possibility and option for writers of the present age. I created The Wild Sonnets in 2016 and will be publishing the 7th volume in the series this month. Although some might regard creating one's own variation on the sonnet form as being non-classical, my intent has always been to push the discipline forward, marrying the vibe and flow of the modern with the rigor and vigor of the great English poets.

You're doing great work, Nicholas. People have been varying the sonnet form for hundreds of years and it seems amenable to endless innovations. Would love to know more about how you're pushing the discipline forward. Have emailed you through your website.

Very fine, very witty summary with lots of useful information and ideas: the graphics are really wild and wonderful!

Thanks for your support, James.

Overall, I agree with your assessment: a very realistic approach to the world of poetry today, post-apocalyptic as it is. As always, I love your dry humor.

Thanks for watching as always. Feel free to point out that with which you disagree with as well. My flippancy is not for all tastes. Or even, perhaps, most tastes.
