Loving by Will includes all of William Shakespeare's original sonnets 'To Mr W.H.' and an index of their first lines. Timothy's lipogrammatic translations are presented in parallel with the originals and his summarising headings make this book not only a lot of fun (for the reader as well as the poet!) but also a useful study guide to the 'Dark Lady' Sonnets.
Other poets translated by Timothy Adès, rhyming poet-translator, mostly from French, include Jean Cassou; Victor Hugo; Robert Desnos and Alberto Arvelo Torrealba. This is his first book in Inglish!
There probably won't be an e-book of this!
