With ‘Sixty Sexy Sonnets’, poet James Martin presents in sonnet form his ‘Weltanschauung’ – philosophy, religion, love, loves, lust, desire, hopes, people and pets. It is an intensely personal journey through the events, people and places, both internal and external, that express the soul within the man, on every page for all to see. Deeply serious and contemplative at times, mischievously tongue-in-cheek at others, Martin pulls no punches in this emotional and evocative expose of what it means to live in a world of contradictions – when love and belief emerge as life’s only consolation in the face of madness and prejudice. In doing so, he does not ask the reader to agree, but to feel – and respond with the compassion ‘la condition humaine’ expects: ‘one for all, and all for one’.
