In 1972, Ulises Carrión produced his first artists book SONNET(S) whichconsists of a 44 variations of a sonnet by Dante Gabriel Rosetti titled Heart'sCompass.
Using the langage like a material, Carrión writes Rossettis poem over andover again on a typewriter, in slightly different versions. This book today isconsidered Carrións first artist's book, where he still uses language, butquite differently.
In 2009 Michalis Pichler, in a similar approach but using a computer, mostlyword or open office, created 44 new variations and published a book titledSOME MORE SONNET(S).
