Martin Bidney - The Be-Loving Imaginer Episode 51- Hybridized Sonnets
The YouTube, like the book, has two parts, each with two subsections.
1a. Poems 12. Id and 22. Bulbous show how to hybridize a traditional sonnet with a new number of beats per line and a new kind of rhythm unit (e.g., three-syllable instead of two).
1b. Poems 13. Dividends and 25. Haste show how hybridized sonnets can be used to write “replies” to random passages in the
Qur’an, which I love as part of the Judaeo-Christo-Islamic Tradition.
2a.
Poems 49. Sophia and 46. Sea-Farewell show hybridized sonnet forms applied to the work of Russian poet Vladimir Solovyov (1953-1900), a mystical wordsong maker as well as notable theologian. Each poem is an interview or con-verse-ation where I “reply” to the poet I am translating.
2b.
Poems 90. Flint and 96. Taverner show me interviewing Hafeez, the great medieval Persian pub poet, as Solovyov presented him in his Russian re-writing, newly rendered here in English with my “reply.”
