I agree that tinkering with published work might be annoying to the poet, but we could all take a lesson from the positive energy Rhina puts into her commentary. That made this superb batch of sonnets all the more eye-opening. The Bake-Off has been a terrific success if luring fine work is any indication, and even more so if we can judge by its entertainment and literary value to the readers.
I like Carol's idea to include unpublished sonnets next time.
Many thanks to Rhina, Tim, Alex and all the participants. A most enjoyable performance!
Congratulations to Alicia, Paul and Deborah, as well as Catherine, Gerry and Bob M.!
