Based on Kim Addonizio’s invented form (the sonnenizio) and born from the ancient art of making mix tapes, Songenizios is a collection of sixteen “sonnets” from Michael Garrigan and Andrew Jones. Each songenizio poem starts with a line from a song (based on playlists they made each other), repeats (in some form) one word from it in the following thirteen lines, and ends in a rhyming couplet. A collaboration between songs and sonnets, poets and musicians, this mixtape chapbook serves as a way to communicate across different mediums during the Covid-19 pandemic. All proceeds from the sale of this chapbook go to helping musicians through the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund.
Michael Garrigan writes and teaches along the banks of the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania. He is the author of two poetry collections--Robbing the Pillars and the chapbook What I Know [How to Do].
