I finally got around to reading her prize winning collection "frank: sonnets". It's quite impressive. I see the collection as a pretty bold interpretation of what makes a sonnet. As far as I can tell, the only rule she followed is that each poem is 14 lines. Beyond that, I see no pattern or form.
I also decided I need to educate myself on poetry written since the 1980s, so I'm thinking of going through the list of Pulitzer Price/National Book Award books for poetry since then. I don't read nearly enough modern poetry. I tend to stick to dead poets. My bad.
