{"product_id":"sonnets-64-david-cope-9781548051150","title":"Sonnets 64","description":"This book contains sixty-four sonnets in the Shakespearian form. With few exceptions-albeit less than Shakespeare made with his-I have followed the ABAB-CDCD-EFEF-GG rhyming scheme, iambic pentameter meter, and three quatrains followed by a couplet. I have been less careful with the subtle shifts in tone around line nine but conformed to the less subtle surprise in the couplet. Writing a sonnet is like solving a complex crossword puzzle with the additional rules that it must make sense, follow proper syntax, abide by known semantics, still be a poem, and have an overall goal that's not always obvious. Like the haiku in my book called Comes the Fiery Night, some of the sonnets in this collection were created by a computer program I created. To give you a hint as to which might be which, I confess that I had to rake through hundreds of outputs to find the few I included here. To help those of you who may hate even the concept of computer-produced poems, I admit that the ones that I produced on my own here are far, far better than the others. Of course, the fact that I created the program that created the computer-produced poems, I suppose I need to take credit for the entire 64.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Cope\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1548051152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781548051150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/11\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 74\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.15d","brand":"David Cope","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48873444016383,"sku":"9781548051150","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sonnets-64-david-cope-9781548051150","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
