It is both method of listening for auditory system in a work and it is the figuration of findings: rhythmic pattern, correspondence, dissonance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe poems in this collection conduct a systematic sonogrammar on Gertrude Stein's \u003ci\u003eTender Buttons\u003c\/i\u003e (1914), reading this exquisite and perplexing modernist text as meaningful first and foremost at the level of sound. The collection de-forms and re-articulates the sound of writing to learn what Stein still teaches about the interdepending work of intonation, punctuation and grammar in the creation of rhythm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause rhythm interlaces a writer with a locality  materially, at the level of wave and vibration \u003ci\u003e A Sonogrammar\u003c\/i\u003e is also testament to the way poetry can work (as light and colour work) to construct a timespace. It is an ode to Stein's capacity to undiscipline sentences, building syntactic room inside them for divergence and differentiation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46867067207838,"sku":"ADS-9781923099432","price":26.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781923099432.jpg?v=1779429189","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781923099432","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
