Sudoku Poem

Some of you might recall a Petrarchan sonnet I wrote called Girl Playing Sudoku on the Seven-Fifteen. It’s now the sample poem for the third issue of Fourteen Magazine and can be read at the link.

The paper-version doesn’t have the double-spacing and the poem is supposed to be split into two stanzas of 8 and 6 lines, but you’ll get the general idea. If some readers have only read the work-in-progress version, I hope you see the finished poem as an improvement.

Fourteen is a great little magazine. It comes out twice a year. It only publishes poems of 14 lines and contains exactly 14 poems per issue, along with some commissioned sketches to illustrate the poems.
