The HyperTexts publishes nine of my sonnets

 The Hypertexts is a very well-regarded online journal specialising in formal and formalist poetry. To be inculcated into its ranks is a real honour, and I take this opportunity to thank its primum mobile Mike Burch for seeing fit to add my name to the roll.

The nine sonnets which the Hypertexts published this morning are from two sources: Arabic numerals denote sonnets from my completed 155-strong cycle the 'Sonnets, Mostly Bristolian', whereas Roman numerals denote sonnets from the 'Odes, Epigrams, & Further Sonnets', which is an ongoing accumulation. 

Five of the selection are published for the first time, and four have been published previously.

In particular, XVII is the English translation of 141, which is my solitary French sonnet and was published about three years ago in the French Literary Review. 

Here's a link to my Hypertext page.
