Selected Sonnets

By W. Wayne Lin

"Selected Sonnets." Historically, the author wrote 341 sonnets, and only 136 were chosen to be included in the previous 8 poetry books. Out of these 136, only 84 are selected in this book. After finalizing the poem "Tortoise," a Shakespearean sonnet, the author began to ponder, "Is he a Christian, Muslim or a Buddhist? Maybe he is a preacher, imam, rabbi, or a monk. What would be your guess?" As written in T.S. Eliot's "Journey of the Magi": "Were we led all that way for Birth or Death?/ I had seen birth and death. But had thought they were different: this Birth was Hard and bitter agony for us, like Death, our death. We returned to our places."
