From the publisher
Meta, mathematical and multilingual, in Ostashevsky's hands the sonnet is a language game. The fourteen sonnets published here grammatically squeeze feeling from form, push language punnily to its limit, and find new frames of belonging. In doing so, they also rediscover the sonnet's interpersonal imperative, its tête-à-tête: "To give one another hearing we repeat once more with feeling".
