Thirty-six sonnets written in traditional form explore the dark and the light, the rich and the poor, the ugly and the beautiful. There are poems about a beggar, cathedrals, van drivers and concert halls, cats and rats and many other topics. Each one has a colour illustration that complements the vivid evocation of urban existence in the verse. The writing explores what it means to be a human being living among many others, with all the tensions, anxieties, pleasures and joys that they experience. The sonnet form, with its fourteen lines, regular metre and rhyming scheme, brings a sharp focus on the practicalities and dreams of city living.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Choir Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45299564707991,"sku":"9781789633344","price":1281.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781789633344.webp?v=1767916590","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/city-sonnets-9781789633344","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
