From its origins in the medieval Italian court, the sonnet has evolved into one of poetry’s most malleable, yet enduring, forms. In this practical workshop Anthony Joseph, winner of the 2022 T.S. Eliot Prize for poetry, leads a Masterclass looking at the ways in which contemporary poets can develop the sonnet form and stretch its limits. Through generative writing exercises, you will explore how the sonnet comments on a universal human experience. You will examine how to creatively approach, experiment with and apply the sonnet form, whilst retaining its unique, defining features.

"Arvon at Home creates a model to participate in inspirational tutoring for writers, at a distance. The feeling of attending to my writing life in an excellent fashion, and still having a half-day for my work and caring responsibilities at home, felt like a good balance."

"It was an absolutely brilliant session and very very useful. And it made me realise how much I’ve missed this kind of workshop because of having children and family that I can’t leave. Now we’re all in the same boat the online stuff is truly transformative."
