I am not an avid reading of poetry, but I do like to be more informed of the poets and styles. Imagine writing grocery lists in sonnet form! A novel I know of, in sonnet form, is by Vikram Seth: Golden Gate Bridge. You may enjoy it, too.Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011304218892238385.post-16818251927470778272016-02-01T09:16:13.222-08:002016-02-01T09:16:13.222-08:00Intrigued by this being 60% semi-autobiographical....Intrigued by this being 60% semi-autobiographical. <br /><br />Not something I have read since I was at school, at the time sonnets didn't appeal to me.

I'm glad you defined it for us, as I know it is a form of poetry, but I couldn't remember exactly what it is! This book of sonnets sounds intriguing. I especially identify with the woman who escapes to read during a party . . . I used to do that when I was younger to escape family parties at times . .. especially if the family was in criticism mode. Reading always cheered me up and than I was back again. Unfortunately with kids, I can't do that anymore! Have a great weekend!Laura's Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13904763940307902364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011304218892238385.post-71816955186097018942016-01-29T12:03:55.280-08:002016-01-29T12:03:55.280-08:00Oh my, I could never be as creative as you.

Rebecca and Moira Egan are the only poets I know that have written collections of sonnets. I am deficient in this regard. <br /><br />Thank you so much for being on the blog tour. I love this post!
