From Room to Tenement: The Sonnet & The Sonnet Sequence with George Szirtes

George Szirtes is running an online workshop exploring the flexible form of the sonnet. There will be exploration of the intricacies of the form, its history, and the freedoms one can take when employing it into their writing practice.

This is a two-part workshop: two sessions two weeks apart. The first session will consider different approaches to sonnets and sonnet sequences, with homework given to write three to four sonnets in a sequence before the second session. The following session will allow participants to share what they’ve written and further discuss approaches to sonnet sequences.

Hosted on Cath Drake’s ‘The Verandah’.
