Monstruo

Tied to the author’s conceptual writing and appropriation practice, Sonetoismo is a series of seven books of contemporary sonnets and a monograph about the project itself. Written daily, the sonnets are an attempt at perceiving, marking, remembering, reflecting, celebrating, and paying homage to the everyday—to ordinary and extraordinary things, people, and events both on ordinary and extraordinary days, using as much as possible the most ordinary and simplest way of writing poetry in terms of language and aesthetic, rhetorical, and appropriative devices. Sonetoismo advances a formal investigation and interrogation of form through linguistic innovation and displays awareness of the process of constructing and disassembling the sonnets. The emphasis is placed on poetry as a process and on form not only as configuration but, more significantly, as force and politics.
