Bookwrights House Author Interview with Martin Bidney

Описание: 🎬 Dive into the ultimate literary conversation!🖋️

Watch our exclusive interview with author Martin Bidney as he discusses his captivating book, Shakespair: Sonnet Replies to the 154 Sonnets of William Shakespeare.

Bidney takes on the Bard's famously surprising Sonnets, exploring their high-suspense love drama and the bisexual range of the speaker's intense passion. Discover how the poet’s mercurial feelings and the strong conflicts arising from the love triangle (the poet, his "boyfriend," and his "mistress") create a narrative that hovers between a play and a psychological novel.

As a self-described "dialogic poet," Bidney explains his long tradition of friendly rivalry with verse writers by composing 154 original sonnets in direct response to Shakespeare’s own. Learn how he sums up Shakespeare's lyrics from a new perspective, responds with parallel memories, and allows poets, philosophers, and mythic figures to enter the "con-verse-ation." See why he calls Shakespeare "the best con-verse-ation partner" and how this intimate dialogue revealed a "stranger-self" in the process.

Don't miss this deep dive into Elizabethan drama, psychological depth, and the power of poetic reply!
