And on that note of reading a new author...I had the pleasure of reading some amazingly beautiful sonnets written by my aunt Barbara...Barbara Dilworth. They were sonnets she wrote many, many years ago when she turned forty. Each one was written in the vein of another famous author, i.e., Poe, Shakespeare, Donne, cummings, Joyce, Byron, Yeats, Frost, etc. They were so magnificent! I had favorites, and favorite lines among favorites. Then, she wrote one more additional sonnet to wrap them all up...it was wonderful! If I chat with my aunt and get her ok, I might show off a few of them on the blog. :-) Meanwhile, I'm proud to be in the presence of so much talent!
