Courses description

This Sonnet Masterclass is a whistle-stop tour of the sonnet's histories and possibilities, from Petrarch and Shakespeare to modern and contemporary twists on the sonnet. Our focus during this course will be on reading and understanding a range of sonnets, comparing and contrasting how poets across time have responded to this enduring form. What is it about the sonnet that makes it so compelling? Inspired by writers including Kim Addonizio, Seamus Heaney, and Terrance Hayes, we will have time to experiment with our own sonnet-writing, testing how the sonnet form opens up new opportunities for creative expression.
