Contents Cover -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Foreword -- Contents -- [From fairest creatures we desire increase,] -- [When forty winters shall besiege thy brow] -- [Look in thy glass and tell the face thou viewest,] -- [Unthrifty loveliness, why dost thou spend] -- [Those hours that with gentle work did frame] -- [Then let not winter's ragged hand deface] -- [Lo, in the orient when the gracious light] -- [Music to hear, why hear'st thou music sadly?] -- [Is it for fear to wet a widow's eye] -- [For shame deny that thou bear'st love to any,] -- [As fast as thou shalt wane so fast thou growest-]
[When I do count the clock that tells the time,] -- [O, that you were yourself, but love you are] -- [Not from the stars do I my judgment pluck,] -- [When I consider every thing that grows] -- [But wherefore do not you a mightier way] -- [Who will believe my verse in time to come] -- [Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?] -- [Devouring time blunt thou the Lion's paws,] -- [A woman's face with Nature's own hand painted,] -- [So is it not with me as with that Muse,] -- [My glass shall not persuade me I am old,] -- [As an unperfect actor on the stage,]
[Mine eye hath play'd the painter and hath stell'd] -- [Let those who are in favour with their stars] -- [Lord of my love, to whom in vassalage] -- [Weary with toil, I haste me to my bed,] -- [How can I then return in happy plight] -- [When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,] -- [When to the sessions of sweet silent thought] -- [Thy bosom is endearèd with all hearts,] -- [If thou survive my well-contented day,] -- [Full many a glorious morning have I seen,] -- [Why didst thou promise such a beauteous day,] -- [No more be grieved at that which thou hast done:]
[Let me confess that we two must be twain,] -- [As a decrepit father takes delight] -- [How can my Muse want subject to invent,] -- [O how thy worth with manners may I sing,] -- [Take all my loves, my love, yea take them all,] -- [Those petty wrongs that liberty commits,] -- [That thou hast her, it is not all my grief,] -- [When most I wink then do mine eyes best see,] -- [If the dull substance of my flesh were thought,] -- [The other two, slight air and purging fire,] -- [Mine eye and heart are at a mortal war,] -- [Betwixt mine eye and heart a league is took,]
[How careful was I, when I took my way,] -- [Against that time (if ever that time come)] -- [How heavy do I journey on the way,] -- [Thus can my love excuse the slow offence] -- [So am I as the rich whose blessèd key] -- [What is your substance, whereof are you made,] -- [O how much more doth beauty beauteous seem] -- [Not marble, nor the gilded monuments] -- [Sweet love, renew thy force, be it not said] -- [Being your ___, what should I do but tend] -- [That god forbid, that made me first your ___,] -- [If there be nothing new, but that which is,]
Summary "Anagrams of Shakespeare's 154 sonnets exploring queer desire, pagan tradition, and the occult"-- Provided by publisher
"Shakespeare's 154 sonnets anagrammed into wildly new poems about queer desire and kink. The Wild Hunt Divinations: A Grimoire is a stunning second collection from National Poetry Series winner, Trevor Ketner. Comprised of 154 sonnets, each anagrammed line-by-line from Shakespeare's sonnets, the book refracts these lines through the thematic lens of transness, queer desire, kink, and British paganism. The sonnets come together to form a grimoire that casts a trancelike and intense spell on the reader. Centered on love and desire in the English canon, this collection speaks to the ever-emerging and beautiful manifestations of queer love and desire. Relentless, excessive, wild, and tender, The Wild Hunt Divinations: A Grimoire sets itself to chanting from beginning to end"-- Provided by publisher
