Sonnets

'Every age has reinvented the Bard in its own image. Renaissance Man or post-modern angst... Shakespeare haunts our language' Independent Shakespeare's sonnets are lyrical, haunting, beautiful and often breath-taking, representing one of the finest bodies of poetry ever penned. They demonstrate the writer's skill in capturing the full range of human emotions within a carefully prescribed form and creating something unique in every one. Some are familiar Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? others unexpected, but together they form an extraordinary meditation on the nature of love, lust, beauty and time. 'Shakespeare was the most consumate genius of all time' Peter AckroydShakespeare, William is the author of 'Sonnets', published 2009 under ISBN 9780099518860 and ISBN 0099518864.
