«Anti-Sonnets comprised the creation of one sonnet per day over a year, irrespective of personal circumstance.

Each sonnet’s subject matter, and perhaps also the perceived quality of its artistic execution, would reflect the tribulations of daily life. Anti-Sonnets aimed to challenge assumptions associated with the sonnet form, and to champion the ascendency of context over content. Writing in The Cambridge Companion to the Sonnet (23011), the poet Stephen Burt identified “a commitment to dailiness, to impressions without an overarching order, each in its separate frame, as in a notebook or calendar.. [a]s each sonnet records an occasion or a day, a set of sonnets can take its own larger shape.”

An exhibition of Anti-Sonnets is being staged in the Research Station, Leeds Beckett University School of Art, Architecture and Design, from now until Dec 2019».

bad romance:

una poesia ha bisogno di un piedistallo

quante ripetizioni sono necessarie per formare un segno

arriva un succubo e di nuovo sbircia nel tuo appartamento al piano terra e non sarò lì per la chiamata

sogno di portarti a incontrare bifo e ci sediamo a bere acqua sulfurea e sudare per via del nostro costoso correttore make-up

il linguaggio, per essere utile, o redime o è logoro

mi hai sbattuto la testa al muro. hai detto: il limite è lì per essere superato

a brooklyn un adulto mi ha chiesto se, da quando vivo a roma, parlo rumeno

re luigi xxiv esce dall’accademia di belle arti di lione con una congrega di lesbiche

il formaggio svizzero è delizioso, ne gratterò i buchi sugli spaghetti

ogni volta che tradisco mi viene una spellatura

il braccio di legno è come un artiglio

le amo le lacune nella comunicazione

ho pubblicato un annuncio cercasi sesso violento, citando saffo

una donna da sogno immobile ingessata, che ancora riesce a fumare una sigaretta

ordina al mcdonald’s col touch screen ma non mangia mentre aspetta il treno (il rituale)

un discorso sull’erotismo anale femminile ancora manca

sotto la pioggia corri giù dalla basilica e le tue prada si rompono, come ci fosse da soprendersi Continue reading “bad romance / allison grimaldi donahue. 2018” →
