Description

Don Paterson's 40 Sonnets is a new collection that showcases his lyrical intelligence and musical gift. This series of forty sonnets explores themes of contradiction, strangeness, tension, transformation, the dream world, and the divided self. The poems in this collection address a wide range of subjects, from personal relationships to abstract concepts, and display an ambition in their scope and tonal range. Paterson's use of language is formal and assured, creating a rich and accomplished work that returns to some of his central concerns. This new book from one of the foremost poets writing in English today offers a powerful exploration of the human experience through the lens of sonnet form.
