'Paterson is simply one of the best living poets in the UK.' Observer
Reading Shakespeare's Sonnets: A New Commentary by Don Paterson: 'Paterson is simply one of the best living poets in the UK.' Jackie Kay, Observer
Shakespeare's Sonnets are as important and vital today as they were when first published four hundred years ago. Perhaps no collection of verse before or since has so captured the imagination of readers and lovers; certainly no poem has come under such intense critical scrutiny, and presented the reader with such a bewildering number of alternative interpretations.
In this illuminating and often irreverent guide, Don Paterson offers a fresh and direct approach to the Sonnets, asking what they can still mean to the twenty-first century reader.
