Bronwen Wallace Memorial Award-winning poet Sonnet L'Abbé returns with her third collection, in which a mixed-race woman decomposes her inheritance of Shakespeare by breaking open the sonnet and inventing an entirely new poetic form. DOROTHY LIVESAY POETRY PRIZE FINALIST RAYMOND SOUSTER AWARD FINALIST How can poetry grapple with how some cultures assume the place of others? How can English-speaking writers use the English language to challenge the legacy of colonial literary values? In Sonnet's Shakespeare, one young, half-dougla (mixed South Asian and Black) poet tries to use "the master's tools" on the Bard's "house," attempting to dismantle his monumental place in her pysche and in the poetic canon. In a defiant act of literary patricide and a feat of painstaking poetic labour, Sonnet L'Abbé works with the pages of Shakespeare's sonnets as a space she will inhabit, as a place of power she will occupy. Letter by letter, she sits her own language down into the white spaces of Shakespeare's poems, until she overwhelms the original text and effectively erases Shakespeare's voice by subsuming his words into hers. In each of the 154 dense new poems of Sonnet's Shakespeare sits one "aggrocultured" Shakespearean sonnet--displaced, spoken over, but never entirely silenced. L'Abbé invented the process of Sonnet's Shakespeare to find a way to sing from a body that knows both oppression and privilege. She uses the procedural techniques of Oulipian constraint and erasure poetries to harness the raw energies of her hyperconfessional, trauma-forged lyric voice. This is an artist's magnum opus and mixed-race girlboy's diary; the voice of a settler on stolen Indigenous territories, a sexual assault survivor, a lover of Sylvia Plath and Public Enemy. Touching on such themes as gender identity, pop music, nationhood, video games, and the search for interracial love, this book is a poetic achievement of undeniable scope and significance.

Your Sonnet For The Day was inspired by Pratibha’s own musings across her childhood, which were spent in Scotland, Iraq and other countries before she returned to her homeland, India. The well known sonnet is a short poem of fourteen lines that revolves around love and emotions, but it can also be the perfect style for expressing a single idea or thought. Pratibha’s sonnets go beyond the conventional romantic pentameter and explores strong emotions of life through her quatrains. Her sonnet’s power comes from her ability to capture the essence of our emotional entanglement with life clearly and succinctly. These compositions are well received for its setting in a modern tableau, which serves as a wonderful context to introduce poetry for children within the Common Wealth. Adults will also find the prose familiar, as each sonnet exfoliates the whispers that we all have, but rarely find the words to express them. Surely, this book will awaken the poet in each of us.
