Originally written by Michael Ayres under his moniker hypergram, sentence appeared online (2012-2018) in a series of 100 poems. Unlike his other hypergram poetry, which tends to be built up in open-ended numbered series, sentence was always conceived of as a single work. A study in the nature of language, this book is particularly concerned with the realm of semantics - with the architecture and construction of meaning - which it explores in a unique, radical and shimmering poetry. One of the writer's key works from the past decade, sentence offers an insight into the thinking that informs both his more recent and his earlier poetry, and reflects his abiding interest in such themes as ephemerality, transience, longevity, fragmentation, substance, the creation and consequences of boundaries and limits, and the complex relation between reader, text and poet.
