So we had a party last Friday, and somewhere about three hours in, the Wisconsin Poet discovered that our guests knew a thing or two about Shakespeare. Off he scampered to fetch out Aegypta, his book of poems. These are the Miranda Sonnets – think The Tempest. And remember, these are cold readings. But still – worth sharing, I think. Especially since the Wisconsin Poet shares a first name with St. Joseph, whose Solemnity we observe today, what with the 19th falling during Holy Week and all. Enjoy.
