Across continents, cultures, and poetic traditions, fifty-seven authors come together to breathe new life into one of literature's most enduring forms: the Shakespearean sonnet. All the World's a Page gathers a sweeping range of voices, from emerging writers to seasoned poets, from storytellers rooted in classical tradition to those experimenting at the edges of lyric form.Inspired by Shakespeare yet unbound by imitation, these sonnets explore love, loss, identity, wonder, memory, grief, humor, and the countless contradictions of being human. Readers will travel from intimate interiors of the mind to wide landscapes, from mythic echoes to modern anxieties, from tender devotion to sharp political and social awareness.The collection honors the variety of rhythms, spellings, and stylistic nuances preserved in each poet's original voice, reflecting a global chorus rather than a single tradition. Whether steeped in the classic music of iambic pentameter or infused with contemporary inflections, each sonnet stands as a testament to the form's enduring power to hold complexity within its fourteen-line frame.A celebration of craft, diversity, and imagination, All the World's a Page invites readers into a vibrant, multifaceted dialogue with the past, one where Shakespeare's legacy becomes a living landscape shaped anew by the hands of poets around the world.
