40 SONNETS
Book ID/图书代码： 11701215B86126
English Summary/英文概要： 40 Sonnets is the new collection by Don Paterson, a rich and accomplished work from one of the foremost poets writing in English today.
This new collection from Don Paterson, his first since the Forward prize-winning Rain in 2009, is a series of forty sonnets. Some take a more traditional form, some are highly experimental, but what these poems share is a lyrical intelligence and musical gift that has been visible in his work since his first book of poems, Nil Nil, in 2009.
Addressed to children, friends and enemies, the living and the dead, musicians, poets and dogs, these poems display an ambition in their scope and tonal range matched by the breadth of their concerns. Here, voices call home from the blackout and the airlock, the storm cave and the séance, the coalshed, the war, the ringroad, the forest and the sea. These are voices frustrated by distance, by shot glass and bar rail, by the dark, leaving the ’sound that fades up from the hiss, / like a glass some random downdraught had set ringing, / now full of its only note, its lonely call . . .’
In 40 Sonnets Paterson returns to some of his central themes - contradiction and strangeness, tension and transformation, the dream world, and the divided self - in some of the most powerful and formally assured poems he has written to date.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 虽然采用一些传统的，和一些实验性的形式，这部诗歌集却尽显出,帕特森自1993年发表的第一部作品时，所散发出的沉稳和抒情的特质。致朋友和陌生人，生者和逝者，儿童、诗人、音乐家和狗 — — 以及对作为作者本人 — — 这些诗歌向所有的这些人物的雄心壮志，以及和这些他们相关的基调。在《十四行诗》中，帕特森返回到他的中心主题: 矛盾与陌生感、张力和转换，梦的世界分裂的自我。(Sandy)
Awards/获奖情况：Thrillingly varied ... [Paterson is] an immensely skilled poet of craft and restraint, who speaks with a stunning lyrical voice. Reading this collection, you feel lucky to be alive while Paterson is writing about our world. It’s almost ridiculous to suggest that further establishment accolades should be bestowed on a writer already so lauded (and rightly), but there’s nobody else making sonnets this consistently good, and for that he deserves to win every prize going. (Charlotte Runcie Daily Telegraph)
40 Sonnets is a richly emotional, often plangent and highly assured piece of work. (Rosemary Goring The Herald (Scotland))
A poet of genius ... Paterson is humanely unsympathetic, and brusquely indulgent as ever. The technical accomplishment is almost the least significant point of the collection. When it is done so well, it, like the ghosts that haunt many of the poems, is literally invisible. (Stuart Kelly The Scotsman)
Dynamic, interrogative and unsettling; crafted yet open-ended; fiercely smart, savage and stirring - from the get-go, Paterson’s poetry has been essential reading. (Ben Wilkinson Guardian)
Judges: “Graceful, moving and intelligent poems that give the impression of effortless achievement. Paterson has spirited away all signs of the necessary struggle with the skill of a master sorcerer.”
The Costa judges called 40 SONNETS: “A tour de force by a poet at the height of his powers – these poems buzz with life and intelligence. The stand-out collection of the year.”
