ANTI-SONNETS

"The Sonnet," wrote Phillis Levin in her introduction to The Penguin Book of the Sonnet, "is a portrait of the mind in action." In committing to the creation of one sonnet per day for a year, 'Anti-Sonnets' challenges the convention of toilsome authorship and instead renders the process of production at centre stage. Building on a vast contextual scaffold, 'Anti-Sonnets' uncovers the form's true post-internet potential.
