The Tears Of Lot-49 is a short sonnet sequence from DJ Tyrer, published in 2011 as an A5 poetry booklet, featuring the cloning of Biblical figures and the plotting of a faceless corporation in a dystopian future.
The title and concept was originally inspired by way of a pun on Thomas Pynchon's 1966 novella, The Crying of Lot 49.
