Will & Emily Dancing at the Crypto-Wake

This 7th volume of the series "Shakespeare AI" is a distilled and refined version of the trilogy's vol. 1 "Shakespeare's Wake." The allusion game of the "Reconstituted" version with Shakespeare's sonnet allusions includes Emily Dickinson poem allusions in a number scheme derived from the ancient Chinese I-Ching as described in the preface and thorough appendix of several essays, 3 of which were adapted to accommodate Faulkner-Wisdom Literary Contest requirements and placed on the short-list of finalists in 3 consecutive years. The traditional sonnet forms of the "Reconstituted" version were changed by reducing each line of the 22 crowns of sonnets as a tribute to Shakespeare's 154 sonnet series, to the Bard's & Emily's essential allusions along with the author's minimal extracted words. The results work much like a John Cage modern unrhymed conceptual experiment in poetics. The 22 crowns are surrounded by other relevant traditional poems that add richness to exploring the main theme of life after death revealed in dream visitations of departed friends & loved ones.
