More about the book

With a blend of humor and satire, the book explores variations on Petrarch's third sonnet, showcasing the comedic reinterpretations of renowned poets like Wyatt, Surrey, and Milton. Sheppard's clever "trans translations" highlight the absurdities of historical figures and contemporary political themes, particularly around Brexit. His sharp wit shines through in his 100-word sonnets, where he captures the essence of national identity and political irony. Expect a playful journey through poetic worlds, filled with laughter and poignant truths.
