The Social Sonnets

M.D. Petti

“In today’s modern world, I cannot think of a more anachronistic love than writing Shakespearean sonnets. And yet, here they are…”

In a world that moves too fast for fourteen lines, The Social Sonnets offers a quiet rebellion—an invitation to slow down. Bridging centuries, M.D. Petti writes with reverence for Shakespeare, yet with a voice resonant to the rhythm of the modern heart and the timeless ache of being human. Love, loss, and beauty unfold in measured verse, each sonnet a reflection of endurance, grief, and growth through the ever-changing seasons of life.
