Ms Glickman. I just read your Extinction Sonnets in Walrus. I wept. I was wondering when someone would commit the anguish of extinction to sonnets and there you are. Most beautiful. Our species is not worthy. Thank you.

Ms Glickman. I just read your Extinction Sonnets in Walrus. I wept. I was wondering when someone would commit the anguish of extinction to sonnets and there you are. Most beautiful. Our species is not worthy. Thank you.
I am glad these poems spoke to you. One of the reasons I chose the sonnet form is that it helped me contain my own anguish.
