Remember the Flowers
A tiny, overgrown garden. An empty parking lot. A white IKEA chair. The frozen food aisle in the supermarket. In this collection of narrative poems that span early childhood to the pandemic, Enni Harlan turns the landscapes and objects of everyday life into extraordinary ones-the overgrown garden becomes her own secret garden; the parking lot, a handball court; the IKEA chair, a steam train.With her sharp, sometimes darkly comic eye, Harlan explores what it means to play and live in the "in-between"-in between buildings, but also in between the U.S. and South Korea, childhood and adulthood, the past and the present, reality and imagination. What can we hold onto, even as we leave certain worlds-our childhood, our parents, even our homeland-behind forever? Remember the Flowers is Enni Harlan's first book, a memoir in the form of poetry. It won Stone Soup's 2021 Book Contest.

This fourth part, roughly covering the nineteenth century, leads the reader through one of the most productive periods in English literature.This volume includes 376 poems by 128 different poets, arranged in order by the year of their birth. As you might imagine, the Romantic poets are well-represented in the collection, by William Wordsworth (27 poems), Samuel Taylor Coleridge (7), Percy Bysshe Shelley (14), Lord Byron (5), and John Keats (15). Similarly, the Victorian poets appear in abundance, with substantial contributions from Elizabeth Barrett Browning (10), Alfred Lord Tennyson (11), Robert Browning (16), Matthew Arnold (8), and Christina Georgina Rossetti (11). But there are also many fine poems from less familiar poets for the reader to discover. Most of the poems were penned by British poets, with a handful from American authors.Having set his heart on choosing the best, the compiler consulted existing anthologies, but only after making his own choice. As he says, "The best is the best, though a hundred judges have declared it so."

The Sonnets
Shakespeare's sonnets are poems that William Shakespeare wrote on a variety of themes. When discussing or referring to Shakespeare's sonnets, it is almost always a reference to the 154 sonnets that were first published all together in a quarto in 1609 however, there are six additional sonnets that Shakespeare wrote and included in the plays Romeo and Juliet, Henry V and Love's Labour's Lost. There is a partial sonnet found in the play Edward III.Shakespeare's sonnets are considered a continuation of the sonnet tradition that swept through the Renaissance from Petrarch in 14th-century Italy and was finally introduced in 16th-century England by Thomas Wyatt and was given its rhyming meter and division into quatrains by Henry Howard. With few exceptions, Shakespeare's sonnets observe the stylistic form of the English sonnet-the rhyme scheme, the 14 lines, and the meter. But Shakespeare's sonnets introduce such significant departures of content that they seem to be rebelling against well-worn 200-year-old traditions.Instead of expressing worshipful love for an almost goddess-like yet unobtainable female love-object, as Petrarch, Dante, and Philip Sidney had done, Shakespeare introduces a young man. He also introduces the Dark Lady, who is no goddess. Shakespeare explores themes such as lust, homoeroticism, misogyny, infidelity, and acrimony in ways that may challenge, but which also open new terrain for the sonnet form.The primary source of Shakespeare's sonnets is a quarto published in 1609 titled Shake-speare's Sonnets. It contains 154 sonnets, which are followed by the long poem "A Lover's Complaint". Thirteen copies of the quarto have survived in fairly good shape from the 1609 edition, which is the only edition there were no other printings. There is evidence in a note on the title page of one of the extant copies that the great Elizabethan actor Edward Alleyn bought a copy in June 1609 for one shilling.The sonnets cover such themes as the passage of time, love, infidelity, jealousy, beauty and mortality. The first 126 are addressed to a young man the last 28 are either addressed to, or refer to a woman. (Sonnets 138 and 144 had previously been published in the 1599 miscellany The Passionate Pilgrim).The title of the quarto, Shakespeare's Sonnets, is consistent with the entry in the Stationer Register. The title appears in upper case lettering on the title page, where it is followed by the phrase "Neuer before Imprinted".
