Top Retellings of Classic Tales

Cynthia Shannon asked Erik Didriksen:

When writing these sonnets, you must get the original song stuck in your head. Which song got stuck the longest?

Erik Didriksen None of them got stuck too badly, but some songs really grew on me as I worked on their sonnets. Rick Springfield's "Jessie's Girl" springs to mind; I listen to that song all the time now. It's so catchy, and there are so many wonderful musical details. The way he plays with the rhythm in the lyrics of the prechorus is just brilliant!

Sally Kilpatrick asked Erik Didriksen:

I noticed you have new sonnets on your tumblr (I especially cracked up at Mambo #5), are you planning to compile another book? If so, are you looking at country? For some reason "Friends in Low Places" seems like an interesting candidate.

I realized this week that you hadn't posted any new sonnets lately. Have you stopped writing them? I enjoy your work and I'd love to see more.
