Most of the sonnets will have been workshopped here, Lo. Not all, by any means. Some of our best writers only comment and do not post their work for critique. And frankly, as gatekeeper, I'm at a disadvantage, because I don't visit Met I. However, I am happy to read anything sent me and pass it on if I think it has real merit. So far, about one in five sonnets has passed the post. I sympathize with Bill Baer who receives 3500 submissions per year to the Nemerov Prize fostered by his magazine The Formalist. Well, if we were giving out $1000 to our winner, we'd probably be swamped. It does not escape me that half of the Nemerov prizes have been won by Spherians.
