"I stripped Shakespeare's sonnets bare to the "nets" to make the space of the poems open, porous, possible--a divergent elsewhere. When we write poems, the history of poetry is with us, pre-inscribed in the white of the page; when we read or write poems, we do it with or against this palimpsest."--Working note.
Contains the text of a selection of Shakespeare's sonnets in light gray type with the author's selected words printed in bolder type; sonnets identified by number. The title is derived in this manner from the word 'sonnets.'
" ... designed and typeset by Anna Moschovakis and Jen Bervin using Caslon for the text and Hoefler Text for the numbers"--Colophon.
"For this eighth printing of 1,100 copies, the covers were printed letterpress of Ugly Duckling Presse" --Colophon.
