Celebration for Sonneteers (Fifteen poetry patterns explained)
(Sonnets have been known for centuries as “Singing Songs.”...)
Sonnets have been known for centuries as “Singing Songs.” Celebration for Sonneteers shows the fifteen sonnet patterns available in 1987, with each pattern displayed and explained. This book won and was published as the 1987 national winner of the Crossroads Chapbook Competition. It also won the Oklahoma “Pegasus” Poetry Book Award, and was a Pulitzer nominee. Nature sonnets filled with captivating images, heart-warming and heart-wrenching family sonnets, inspirational sonnets, and “glimpses of life” sonnets make this book an extraordinary find for today’s rhyming poets.
