Don't be put off! Paterson is not just a poet himself and therefore highly qualified to examine these poems, but also an original thinker, part iconoclast part jester. His analysis and commentary, sonnet by sonnet, are eye-opening and full of quirky insights, making this book terrific fun to read. Being unfamiliar with all but the most obvious sonnets, I was amazed by how much schools don't tell us! I recommend this highly.
