Sonnets for a Missing Key
Percival Everett
Author of the instant national bestsellers, James and Erasure the inspiration for the Oscar-winning film American Fiction Percival Everett is diving back into poetry with his spellbinding new collection, Sonnets for a Missing Key. Inspired by the Preludes of Chopin and the piano solos of Art Tatum, these sonnets leap and turn through philosophical musings accrued across a life well lived, with inventive language, crystalline imagery, and turns of phrase that lift off the page and glimmer. Everett's sonnets soar through the musical scale, from A Minor to A Major, exploring relationships, spirituality, compassion, despair, and how the stories we tell ourselves shape our realities.
Everett continuously defies convention with every creative expression and brings his literary audacity back to his poetic roots with this, his sixth collection with Red Hen Press.
Sonnets for a Missing Key is a mesmerising feat of language that reinforces Percival Everett as one of the great wordsmiths of the century.
