The Wild Sonnets: Volume III (201-300)

Much of this third collection of Wild Sonnets was written under the shadow of the Covid 19 pandemic, but the poems published here range far beyond this traumatic event in theme and focus. One of my favorite Wild Sonnets is #234 and it has a special place in not only in this volume, but in the entire collection. The remainder of the 100 poems in this volume have their own music and meaning, and speak in their own way to what is timeless in us all.

Reviews for The Wild Sonnets: Volume III (201-300)

Verbal Art at its Finest
In these beautiful sonnets, Mr. Korn has succeeded on multiple levels simultaneously. He makes intelligent use of the English language, delving into its wide selection of word choices to create thought-provoking lines adroitly adorned with artful alliteration, that is available in the tongue especially, perhaps more than any other. There is great joy here, ready for any reader willing to reach in and indulge. So wait not!

Nicholas Korn is a poet, playwright, filmmaker and composer. The first volume of Wild Sonnets was published in June 2018, with the second following in October 2019. His stage play, Delirium's Daughters, was featured Off-Broadway in 2015, and his film, Revel's Rivals, won the award for Best Animated Feature at the 2012 Louisville International Festival of Film. In the early aughts, he founded and ran Stage First Cincinnati – a theater company dedicated to the ancient Greeks, Moliere and the occasional Shakespeare. As an artist, he combines classicism with a curiosity for all things digital – honoring equally the tradition and the trend. He lives in the Greater Cincinnati area.
