Case Record from a Sonnetorium (Classic Reprint)

By Edward St John Gorey

Excerpt from Case Record From a Sonnetorium

I accept that dogma. What then? Now let us make a fresh start. Is a poem still a sonnet if it has 14 lines and a form of its own? I would say yes, and add that in my opinion there can be many sonnet forms - in fact, any combination of lines that adds up to fourteen.

There is no particular relationship between the poem and the cartoon that appears on the page with it. The cartoons have their own continuity. The poems are a sequence in themselves.
