Reviews
"The American Sonnet will be embraced by all who've noted the lack of diverse scholarship on the sonnet, particularly regarding historically underrepresented sonneteers. Malech and Smith have deepened and expanded the range of our thinking on this form. I can't wait to teach this book--and be taught by it."--Beth Ann Fennelly, author, Heating & Cooling: 52 Micro-Memoirs
"I can't imagine a group of people with whom I would be more excited to talk with about the sonnet than the essayists herein, nor talk more illuminating than their essays. And the sonnets themselves cover whatever the essays don't (more Dunstan Thompson in anthologies, please). This is an ideal anthology."--Shane McCrae, author, Cain Named the Animal
"With keen observation and rigorous inquiry, The American Sonnet documents and celebrates American poets' vital contributions to an ancient, global verse form. The poems and essays collected here situate the 'American sonnet' within a centuries-long conversation about how poetry happens on the page and in the mind. By centering diverse, living American poets for whom the sonnet is a way to think deeply about social and political questions, this work offers a timely snapshot of our urgent literary moment. The American Sonnet is a feast of discovery for all readers."--Kiki Petrosino, author, White Blood: A Lyric of Virginia
