Episode: Episode 40: The sonnet and George Johnson's Cathleen Sweeping.
Description: Friday's form, the famed sonnet, from the first ed of the In Fine Form anthology, in both Petrarchan and Shakespearean mode in discussion, with a nod to my sonnet collaborations in DOG with Joe Rosenblatt (also chatted about in the Poet on the Road series). And a movingly sweet sonnet about a young girl and her male caregiver who is attached and resists and yields to pure love. I recorded this last week so while it's still sunny, the temperature drop has already happened! The squirrel still hangs out.
