Exploring Sonnets: The New and The Old

An exploration of the sonnet and how it has developed over time. In this workshop, we will read sonnets from various poets to better understand how they use the 14-line structure, as well as other restrictions, to suit their poem’s needs. Join us for an open discussion on structure, variation, and evolution in poetry!
