Description

The Sonnets by Ted Berrigan is a landmark collection of poetry that explores themes of love and friendship in a unique and innovative way. First published in 1964, this new annotated edition features seven previously uncollected works, offering a fresh perspective on the poet's oeuvre.

Like Shakespeare's sonnets, Berrigan's poems are characterized by their use of repetition, fragmentation, and surface-level observations to reveal deeper truths about human experience. This eclectic and classical collection is both a product of its time and a timeless exploration of the human condition.

With its monumental riddles and poetic themes, The Sonnets is a book that rewards close reading and contemplation. If you're interested in exploring the work of a major American poet from the 20th century, this edition is an excellent place to start.
