A sonnet a day
From Adam Tessier comes Our Daily Sonnet, a cool new project that promises to post a daily video reading of Shakespeare’s 154 sonnets, each by a different reader. Adam describes it thus:
The project came out of a terrible cold I had a week ago — I was home sick from work and my eyes were bothering me and rather than read the sonnets as I was planning to do all day as part of my homework for Bennington I thought I’d listen to them on Youtube or something first, before going to the text when I felt better — surely there must be videos of people reading these poems out there. There are a few, but I realized quickly, not nearly enough.
Adam’s posted six so far, and he’s looking for more. If you’d like to submit a video, emailĀ ourdailysonnet [at] gmail [dot] com.
Adam’s poem “Jacob’s Dream” appeared on Linebreak on Nov. 11.
