Robert, in each of the previous years, three sonnets were judged "the best." Sorry, I just don't think of this as a competition, rather as a showcase for our best work within this maddening form which has been strangling me for thirty years! Especially this morning.
More than showcase it is an opportunity for us to hear from a Davis, an Espaillat, a Gwynn, what these expert fabricators of sonnets see in our labors.
