The whole book, in order

All 154 poems, every one of them written. Each is titled as it is titled in the book, numbered after the Shakespeare sonnet it answers, and given its length in lines.

Twenty of them can be read here. The rest are written but not shown, so the plain tiles name a poem without opening it. The twenty were chosen to carry the arc of the whole thing, from Sensing to Accepting.
