The Sea as Green is a collection of American sonets by playwright and author Stephen Evans.
A Note on the Form
I am not sure how I stumbled on the sonet form; I may have invented it, or come across it somewhere in my reading long ago. I started calling the form an American sonet to distinguish it from its European cousins (Elizabethan or Petrarchan sonnets). The form has twelve lines: two five line stanzas and one concluding couplet. The meter is mostly iambic, though the line length varies. Some rhyme, some don't.
I keep coming back to the sonet form because of the freedom I find within the structure, and because I suspect that it allows for true poetry, or my concept of it anyway. This is not to say that any of my poems (or anyone else's, for that matter) achieve that goal. But I keep trying.
