If The Lone Sonneteer is aimed at a particular reader, who is that reader? The sonnet itself narrows the field. Throw politics in the mix, and not just politics, but a specific election at a specific time in our history and the odds are good it won't be a best seller. I've not tried to hide where I stand in a rancorous, pivotal contest; if a condition whether or not to proceed, the reader can glean where I stand by skimming over the sonnet titles. Dive in, if you will; nothing could make me happier. Or opt out; I respect your choice…and no hard feelings.
