Kerri Sonnenberg

Sonnenberg earned an MFA in poetry from Brown University in 2002. She is the author of the chapbook Political Art Criticism (2004) and the book-length collection of poems The Mudra (2004).

In The Mudra, Paul Hoover found Sonnenberg using “[b]oth the fragment, with its suggestion of absence, and the oblique narrative, with its ghostly suggestion of a ‘whole,’ [as a] means of expressing […] worlds we thought we knew.”

Sonnenberg’s poetry has appeared in the anthologies The City Visible: Chicago Poetry for the New Century (2007) and The &NOW Awards: The Best Innovative Writing (2009). She edits the journal Conundrum and has collaborated with her husband, the composer Jeffrey Weeter.
