A Shakespeare Sonnet Shakeup: 77 Mach Sonnets That Clarify 77 Bard Sonnets

By Tom Mach

This book compares each of the first 77 sonnets that Shakespeare wrote to 77 sonnets that poet Tom Mach wrote, based on the Bard's original themes. The revised sonnets also suggest how Shakespeare might have written these sonnets if he had lived in the 21st century. The Bard wrote 154 sonnets, but, as a fitting tribute to the Bard, Mach composed Sonnet 155 This is a book you will want to read because the sonnets taken together read like a short story. By reading the revised sonnets I had written, you'll see how Shakespeare jumps from his thoughts on the importance of promoting the beauty of life, to the need to extend one's lineage by having children, to falling in love, to preserving his sonnets from the ravages of death, to his belief that nothing new can be invented, and more..
