Sonnetailia is an interlinked series of poems written in a form called the "sonnetail." It is the author’s questionable attempt at mass-producing a modified, appendaged sonnet that defeats even the appearance of unifying quantum mechanics, general relativity and blank verse. With Cassandra-like exasperation the author picks through humanity’s digestive tract in a colonoscopic romp through a cultural and political blast-zone, strewn with turns of tongues, turns of phrases, good turns and five-car pileups that navigate the worlds of ecstatic pluralism in a chaptered, contrapuntal polyphony.
Marc Nasdor grew up in Baltimore, Maryland, lived in New York City for many years, and then returned to Baltimore. His first book-length poem was Treni in Partenza. Nasdor's poems have been published in translation in Hungarian, German and Spanish, and have been performed in France, Germany and Hungary. He has co-directed the international arts organizations Committee for International Poetry and Alma On Dobbin. An art and audio consultant, he is also an amateur ethnomusicologist who presents global dance music under the nom de DJ Poodlecannon.
