DAY 10: SCANTY PLOT OF GROUND

✨Day 10 of our Christmas gifting guide ✨

📚Today we're sharing a new Faber anthology of sonnets, edited by Paul Muldoon. William Wordsworth described the sonnet as a "scanty plot of ground" offering "brief solace" for those who "have felt the weight of too much liberty".

📜Among the poets included in this centuries-spanning edition are Elizabeth Bishop, Wanda Coleman, John Donne, Terrance Hayes, John Keats, Claude McKay, Edna St Vincent Millay, Christina Rossetti, William Shakespeare, Patricia Smith and W. B. Yeats. There are also translations by Muldoon of sonnets by Charles Baudelaire, Rainer Maria Rilke and César Vallejo, as well as the duo of Paul Verlaine and Arthur Rimbaud.
