Paterson is playing a game with us, but it's not necessarily the one you might think.
Paterson's interrogation of the poetic impulse really takes wing with "The Alexandrian Library, Part III", which continues a sequence from his two earlier collections.
At bottom, though, what Paterson does best is something few if any other contemporary poets can do, which is to be at the same time both deadly serious and seriously funny.

 Don Paterson Biography
Don Paterson (born 1963) is a Scottish poet and musician who was awarded the TS Eliot Prize for poetry for the second time in six years in 2004, and having already won the poetry category narrowly missed the same year's Whitbread Prize.
Born in Dundee, Scotland, he was initally interested in a career in music and spent four to five years touring with bands and jazz acts in the local area.

 101 Sonnets: From Shakespeare to Heaney (Don Paterson)
101 Sonnets: From Shakespeare to Heaney (Don Paterson)
In the sixteen page introduction Paterson describes the history of the form and some of its more common structures, metres, and rhyme schemes: most familiarly a "turn" between an eight line octet and a six line sestet, iambic pentameter, and Italian (ABBAABBA CDCDCD) or English (ABAB CDCD EFEF GG) rhymes.
There are many alternatives to these, however, and Paterson argues that strict definitions of a sonnet are unworkable — "the only qualification for entry in this book is that the poem should have fourteen lines" (and one fails even that).

 RobotFist - Book Review - 'Landing Light', Don Paterson   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
DON PATERSON'S name was in my phone book a couple a months before I got to know him properly.
In couplets (the perfect way to describe a couple) he binds two images, that of two drunk and estranged people having "one for the road" and the image of divers exploring a sunken boat.
But this is Paterson, a man of the people, untainted with academic pretensions (yet still willing to pick up the awards).

In traditional forms, short lyrics, and long narratives, Paterson has crafted — with precision and passion — his most accomplished and spiritual collection.
A perfect blend of light and dark humor, his poems combine the mordant with the celebratory, the sweetness of the heart with all the bitter taste of experience.
