Scope and Contents

Bervin has highlighted words within Shakespeare's sonnets to form a new poetry akin to Tom Phillips' "A Humument" without images and the alteration of classic poems by Irving Weiss in his "Visual Voices: The Poem As a Print Object." Bervin writes "I stripped Shakespeare's sonnets bare to the "nets" to make the space of the poems open, porous, possible - a divergent elsewhere." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
