A collection of 154 sonnets reflecting on love, death, marriage and economic theory, each taking its inspiration from Shakespeare's 154. These poems have wit and a kick coming from a middle-aged woman in the middle of Scotland in the twenty-first century.



Trade Review

“…every poem in the book is a response to each one of Shakespeare’s sonnets, all 154 of them. Each of Reid’s sonnets follows Shakespeare’s original in metre, line endings and rhyme but the sonnets’ subject matter is bang up to date…” – Financial Times
