Description

In this class, we’ll closely read and discuss sonnets from Shakespeare to modern poets such as Lowell and Bishop, exploring how the form expresses and transforms emotion and thought as well as enacting shifting ideas of love and self. Each participant will also memorize a sonnet for a group recitation in the final session.

Photographer, technical writer, bicycling aficionado, Nordic ski enthusiast, and dog lover, Brian Burt is the author of two books of poems: Past Continuous (2015) and Black Dog Day (2022). Burt’s poems have also appeared in a variety of print and online publications over the years, and he has taught English and Creative Writing at the University of Michigan, Illinois Wesleyan University and other universities.
