Featured Long Poetic Works
The following are featured long poetic works. In a world of increasingly short
attention spans, to borrow a phrase and reverse an idea from Randy Newman, poets
who write long poems "got nobody to love" their work. These are not poems
of epic length, but sonnet cycles and coronas of sonnets. We hope you'll prove
to be the exception to Newman's Rule of Thumb, and will benefit from your
exceptional-ness! -- MRB
