A collection of classic sonnets, chosen and introduced by acclaimed and award-winning poet Paterson. Poets featured include Thomas Wyatt, Paul Muldoon and Paterson himself. An ideal gift for special occasions Poets have been fascinated and challenged by the sonnet ever since it was imported from Italy to England in the sixteenth century. Don Paterson, himself an adept of the form, has devised an anthology that is both a sharing of personal favourites and a celebration of high moments in the sonnet's history.
