The Radiation Sonnets
A collection of sonnets by Jane Yolen, written while her husband David Stemple was undergoing radiation treatment for a brain tumor. Every night, for the duration of his treatment, Yolen came home and wrote a sonnet. The tightly compressed form, she claims, helped her deal with each day.
The premise is interesting, but the poems just don't stack up in the long run. The best poem in the entire sequence, in my opinion, is the very first one. It's just beautiful -- the form really works for the poem. But that promise isn't upheld throughout the remainder of the collection. Some are amusing, some are sad, but some just aren't weighty enough for sonnets -- there's not enough there to justify the form.
