NON-SONNETS placesprocrastination-trails on centre-stage. Split into 14-line segments, it captures and re-pastes the random, Google Search history results generated during periods in which the author had (unsuccessfully) committed to attempting to write a "traditional" sonnet. Thus, it becomes both a visible record of an unwritten sonnet, and a sonnet-cycle in itself: encapsulating the classical form's frustrations in construction; concerns and inconsistencies; flights-of-fancy; and the general, Shakespearean unrequitedness of everyday life.
