Ted Berrigan's The Sonnets was fairly interesting. Berrigan includes interesting pop culture references and intricate language to create visuals. I must admit that I did not like his method of shifting the placement of lines; this method made the sonnets all the more difficult to read and comprehend. It was especially difficult to understand Berrigan's writing in the introduction and I found it almost to be fairly annoying. I think it is a fair question to ask "Why distort and rearrange a good and previously comprehensible poem?" Although it was difficult at times, it somehow managed to make sense. Despite my disapproval of the method, it did intrigue me. The comparisons between the two sonnets was midly confusing; the "message" of each poem was different when I was expecting some more similarities.
