In this film Luke Kennard tells us about his new collection of prose poems, Notes on the Sonnets, which responds to Shakespeare's sonnets from the point of view of someone at a really bad party. We at A Bit Lit love a really bad party, so we were excited from this discussion! Luke tells us that Shakespeare's poetry is obsessed with avoiding wrinkles, as though written by the 'military-industrial beauty complex', and he wants his poems to be somewhere between insolent and impudent in their relation to Shakespeare's work.
