Description
'I thought I could, with verse iambic, pry
Some sense from nonsense, and our modern scene
Depict and mock, while using "thee" and "thy"
In pages fit to rest by thy latrine.'Shakespeare's sonnets are among the great achievements in world literature. Alas, the immortal Bard never used his command of iambic pentameter to explore such themes as porn, Snapchat and Austin Powers.
#Sonnets is a collection of hilarious and inappropriate poems complete with illustrations of Elizabethan RoboCop and Snoop Dogg in tights. Musing on everything from Donald Trump to Tinder, comedy writer Lucien Young offers a Shakespearean take on the absurdity of modern life.
A Shakespearean take on such topics as Kim Kardashian, Tinder and Pikachu
