The Alphabet Sonnets immediately breaks the structure of its titular form, while simultaneously reconstructing the language of the poems through alliterative phrasing. As the sonnets progress, the language becomes more and more objectified, until it literally vanishes into the structures of the poem and then further still to the symbolism of that structure. The sonnets are accompanied by a Glossary that, rather than clarify, expands text outside of a book structure into multitudes of communications.
