[New-Poetry] Merrill Moore's sonnets

[shin02143 at aol.com]

Has anyone here read any of Merrill Moore's 50,000-odd sonnets? About 1500 of them have made it into print. He was a psychiatrist/MD. I believe one of his patients was Robert Lowell. Moore wrote sonnets at any and every possible opportunity, including scribbling while waiting in his car at a red light. Some are quite free-form including irregular line lengths, odd rhyme schemes, sometimes other than 14 lines. An interesting fellow. Amazing output for someone who had a full career as a doctor and only lived into his 50s.
