Publisher's Synopsis
A four-part collection that stretches the possibilities of the poetic form, from the traditional to the experimental; from the simple to the highly complex.
A polymath deft in math and science alongside the arts, Anthony Etherin authors a collection that showcases the bounds of formal poetry. The poems in Knit Ink study special or simplified cases of established literary restrictions such as anagrams and palindromes, and poetic forms such as triolets and sonnets. Etherin's own form, the aelindrome, creates its own constraint, while other invented forms represent structural indulgences - tests of technical complexity, whose poetry lies as much in the grandeur of their architecture as in the content of their words.
A series of four books whose composition took over a decade, Knit Ink (and Other Poems) sees these four books combined in a single edition in North America for the first time.
