It is both a method of listening for the auditory system in a work, and it is the figuration of findings: rhythmic pattern, correspondence, dissonance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\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 interdependence of intonation, punctuation, and grammar in the creation of rhythm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause rhythm interlaces a writer with a locality materially, at the level of wave and vibration, \u003ci\u003eA Sonogrammar\u003c\/i\u003e is also a 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\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47362517205228,"sku":"9781923099432","price":32.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/19405443482872.jpg?v=1772886738","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/a-sonogrammar-by-kay-l-are-9781923099432","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
