  • About Time: Poems

    by Diane Mintz

"I want to write a poem as elegant as old lace, as simple and airy as a child's rhyme, as soft and loved as a stuffed animal, as welcoming as an old slipper, as easy to slip on. A poem in which I can open my most tender secrets to the trusted and compassionate reader who takes in the words knowingly, securing them...where she will turn to turn to them often for solace."

    by Kelly Rowe

    The Devil's Book of Sonnets, is a collection of humorous and delightfully distasteful poems. Each sonnet is paired with an iconic painting transformed into a meme that adds a visual layer to the reading experience. In this collection, I take the strict structure of the sonnet and use it to explore taboo and risqué topics, pushing the boundaries of what is considered tasteful and acceptable.
