This piece includes a conversation between Canadian poet Seymour Mayne and editor and translator María Laura Spoturno. The dialogue revolves around the origin and practice of the word sonnet, a relatively new genre, focusing on Mayne´s experience as a word soneteer. Reflections on the translation of this minimalist form of poetry are followed by a concert of poems in seven languages: Italian, English, French, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Turkish.
