Description
Quennets by Philip Terry is a collection of poems that experiment with the "quennet" form, invented by Raymond Queneau in 1975. This unique poetic sequence has one more line than a sonnet and is used throughout this book. The three sequences in Quennets explore psychogeographical themes inspired by walking routes around the Essex estuary and the Berlin Wall Trail. The final sequence retraces the steps of a writer through Suffolk, adding another layer of depth to the collection. With its innovative use of form and exploration of place, Quennets offers a fresh perspective on poetry and the human experience.
