The Sonnet has proved to be the most popular form of poetry over the last 500 years or so. The twentieth and twenty-first century has seen the form reinvented time and time again in staggering ways which suggests there are no end to the possibilities it has to offer. On this course we will explore the form’s malleability and range. By reading the key sonnets of modern and contemporary times, whilst considering the sonnet’s heritage, you will imagine new ways of writing your own 14 liners.
