This discussion of what a sonnet is has definitely come up every time I've looked at the call for submission thread since joining. It's like a Shakespeare play with different actors from the Sphere Theatre Company playing the roles each time: the purist curmudgeon, the (relative) radical, the elder statesperson. It's fun, though. My first semester in grad school I was given a sixteen-line "sonnet". I would have loved to have you lovely people by my side then!
Anyway, what's the story with content? I don't want to sully a nice clean site with my smut, but hey, Philip Larkin and all. "This Be The Verse", e.g.?
