Cellar
Over the last two years, Anthony Etherin’s Twitter page has featured hundreds of constrained micropoems, most of which fit into one of two categories: palindromes (and their variations) and poems whose lines are perfect anagrams of each other. "Cellar" sees a selection of seventy-five of these poems retyped on a restored 1930s’ Imperial typewriter.

A distillation of some of Etherin's most polished, ambitious, and precise works, showcasing an artistry of constraint that borders on acts of self-flagellation before the gods of words. A singular example of constrained poetry and its ability to better reflect the unique mind of its creator than any generic, confessional way of presenting inkborn sound glyphs to the eye. Highly recommended.
