FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description With no fewer than 84 contributors, this is a truly groundbreaking anthology. There are plenty of modern sonnet anthologies around; but none that have delved so thoroughly into the myriad ways poets have stretched, deconstructed and re-composed the venerable form, including visual and concrete sonnets. We take as our time frame 1945 to the 21st century, with poets ranging from Edwin Denby (born - 1903) to those currently in their twenties.

Review The Reality Street Book of Sonnets is flat out the best book of its kind I have ever seen. It is easily - too easily, alas - the finest collection of contemporary sonnets ever put together. And its one of those books - not unlike Donald Allens anthology, The New American Poetry, or Jerry Rothenbergs first ventures into the field, with Shaking the Pumpkin & Revolution of the Word, that make you realize just how important and powerful a truly good anthologist can be. And what a force for good. Hilson, by gathering together the very best that has been done in the name of the sonnet, along with his contributors, from Edwin Denby & Ted Berrigan & John Clarke to Laynie Browne, Juliana Spahr & Jay MillAr - called here Jay Millar - may just have rescued this venerable genre from the necrotic clutches of nostalgia.- RON SILLIMANHilsons "sonnet umbrella" shelters writers and artists alike, and the result is an anthology which stretches the definition of verse as well as sonnetry. - VAL NOLAN, PN ReviewThis anthology is a beautiful and edgy hotel that you want to stay in for weeks and weeks, until youvde lived in all the rooms. And then you want to start again. - IAN MCMILLAN, The North Details ISBN1874400393 Pages 360 Publisher Reality Street Year 2008 ISBN-10 1874400393 ISBN-13 9781874400394 Format Paperback Publication Date 2008-06-30 UK Release Date 2008-06-30 Imprint Reality Street Editions Place of Publication Hastings Country of Publication United Kingdom Illustrations 24 graphics/visual sonnets AU Release Date 2008-06-30 NZ Release Date 2008-06-30 Author Jeff Hilson Edited by Jeff Hilson DEWEY 821.0420809 Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
