More about the book

Why Lyrics Last turns an evolutionary lens on lyric verse, placing the writing of verse within the human disposition to play with pattern. Boyd takes as an extended example the many patterns to be found within Shakespeare's Sonnets. There, the Bard avoids all narrative and demonstrates the power that verse can have when liberated of story.
