Bravo to Nicholas Korn, especially Sonnet 680. It's good to read someone who has clearly learned from Shakespeare but who refuses to be a mere antiquarian. I've wrestled with the sonnet as well. I find that I need to make the stanza Petrarchan, then overall form Shakesperean, then double it in size. It's great to see another poet who sees the opportunity available to our time. I keep telling myself I'm going to magazine-publish again keep not doing it. Right here is really where the action is.
Superlative, as always!! You are doing the Lord's work championing poets/composers/Moliere-lovers/actors. Nicholas is a fascinating character (especially his breakdown of the Shakespearean-monologue-as-crux), and you are a great interviewer. I'll check out more of the wild sonnets (602 was indeed welcoming)- pleasant to know that genius still exists in the States ... and there's two geniuses in this video!!!
