Sixty-Six Sonnets From Isaiah

The Isaiah Project is a work in progress. I mean to write a sonnet representing each of the sixty-six chapters of the Book of Isaiah.

The completed sonnets are listed below. I expect to revise or replace some of these before I finish (if I finish). Most of them stick pretty close to paraphrasing the text.

02 Of What Account Is Man
03 Contends the Great I AM
04 His Branch All Glorious
05 Wild Grapes
06 The Lord Enthroned
07 It Shall Not Stand
08 Spreading Out the Wing
09 Righteousness and Justice His Attire
10 Assyria the Rod of Anger Rides

11 A Shoot From Jesse’s Severed Stem
12 I Will Give Thanks
13 Lord Sabaoth an Army Calls
14 O Son of the Dawn
15 The Cry of Moab
16 The Lords of Nations

34 The Time May Well Be Short
35 A Highway in the Wilderness
36 The Gauntlet Now Is Thrown
