Love sonnets are for romantics starry-eyed lovers and ardent hearts. And Shakespeare's sonnets
are the best ever written. But this is why they are also for cynics for star-crossed lovers
and for those who know the anguish of unrequited love. Some appear to be written to a young man
some to a woman. And although the poems are full of mystery - why did Shakespeare write them
and to whom? - each one speaks to us from across the centuries of love hate and the intensity
of being alive. INTRODUCED BY ANDREW McMILLAN 'This is a crazy all-consuming feverish and
sweaty love love in all its uncut full-strength intensity an adolescent love' Don Paterson
