Abstract or Description

This crown of sonnets (sequence of linked sonnets) presents the social, political and environmental landscape of vehicle waste, scrap metal and pollution, in the UK and beyond. Based on a short period of ethnographic research it uses the sonnet form to explore the possibilities of poetry-as-criticism for presenting the emotional and affective aspects of empirical research.
