Timothy Ades has translated all the 154 sonnets of the Bard's love-life into lipograms, not using letter E. He has included headings and notes to help the reader to understand and enjoy the narrative that the original poems relate. All the original sonnets are included in parallel with Timothy Ades' ingenious translations, making this an excellent study guide to William Shakespeare's sonnets as well as an entertaining collection in itself.
Stephen Fry has commented: "I simply do not know if I can find words to applaud your work as much as I should....Genius."
Timothy Ades is a rhyming translator-poet who has translated poetry from French, German and Spanish into poems that follow the forms of the originals. His publications include versions of Victor Hugo, Jean Cassou, Alberto Arvelo Torrealba, Robert Desnos, Ringelnatz, Morgenstern, and Ricarda Huch.
