About the book

Winner of the Forward Prize for Best Collection 2021

Longlisted for the Rathbones folio prize

A Poetry Book society RecommendationLuke Kennard recasts Shakespeare's 154 sonnets as a series of anarchic prose poems set in the same joyless house party.A physicist explains dark matter in the kitchen. A crying man is consoled by a Sigmund Freud action figure. An out-of-hours doctor sells phials of dark red liquid from a briefcase. Someone takes out a guitar.Wry, insolent and self-eviscerating, Notes on the Sonnets riddles the Bard with the anxieties of the modern age, bringing Kennard's affectionate critique to subjects as various as love, marriage, God, metaphysics and a sad horse.'Luke Kennard has the uncanny genius of being able to stick a knife in your heart with such originality and verve that you start thinking «aren't knives fascinating… and hearts, my god!» whilst everything slowly goes black.'– Caroline Bird
