Exploring the significance of sonnet writing within African American poetry, this work highlights key sonnets, anthologies, and critical discussions that reveal the interconnectedness of black sonnet writers. It challenges the notion that sonnet forms are solely European, addressing the historical neglect of formal poetry in the black canon. The resurgence of sonnets from African American newspapers, facilitated by digital technology, uncovers a rich legacy and influence that has flourished in contemporary black poetic expression.
