Description
These sonnets were inspired by the Preludes of Chopin.
Do keys matter? Do they speak to different parts of us? Inspired by the Preludes of Chopin and the piano solos of Art Tatum, these experimental sonnets seek to question timbre and tone. That's bullshit. They are just sonnets.

Featured in the Shelf Unbound list of 2024 Indie Summer Reads
"Wry and epigrammatic, these poems inventively challenge and expand the possibilities of form."--Publishers Weekly
"Percival Everett is a genre."--Kiese Laymon, author of the author of Long Division and MacArthur Fellow
"I feel very deeply that he is one of the most profoundly talented writers of all time." --Robin Coste Lewis, author of Voyage of the Sable Venus and National Book Award for Poetry Winner
"Percival Everett's body of work has been called many things--experimental, idiosyncratic, 'gleefully unhinged'--and perhaps most frequently, prolific." --Lisa Tolin, Editorial Director at PEN America
"Everett's formally virtuosic latest collection... interrogates the sonnet form as both a mode for thought and a vehicle for sonic inquiry and play... Wry and epigrammatic, these poems inventively challenge and expand the possibilities of form." --Publishers Weekly
