Notes on the SonnetsLuke Kennard Luke Kennard recasts Shakespeare's 154 sonnets as a series of anarchic prose poems set in the same joyless house party. A physicist explains dark matter in the kitchen. A crying man is consoled by a Sigmund Freud action figure. An out of hours doctor sells phials of dark red liquid from a briefcase. Someone takes out a guitar. Wry, insolent and self eviscerating, Notes on the Sonnets riddles the Bard with the anxieties of the modern age,

Tijgerbrood gaat over het verlangen om voor altijd toevlucht te kunnen zoeken

while most organisms perished from lack of oxygen

and forays into history with the Spanish conquistadors

of changes experienced in one’s body through time and the resulting changes in perspective

Copy is a prose poem sequence that insinuates an experience of violent removal: a person's disappearance from a country

turning to the page to ask: How can a book bear the trace of music

architecture

and lives for thousands of years

Gansel strives to describe what we have in common

iemand die ruimte biedt als de leegte te zwaar wordt

their white male privilege
