Keri Glastonbury bundle: Newcastle Sonnets and 51 Alterities

An antipodean, regional, queering of Ted Berrigan’s New York-based The Sonnets, Glastonbury celebrates the city of Newcastle’s oddities and contradictions, remixing the material effects of post-industrial gentrification with the vernacular of social media.

In 51 Alterities, the author of Newcastle Sonnets returns with a collection that satirically reimagines our era of chaos and chicanery, responding to the persistent threat of economic austerity, and to poetry’s precarious place in a landscape dominated by billionaire tech bros and social media empires.
