An Upcoming Virtual Seminar
​6/18/23 9:00pm EST
​

In its 800 years, the sonnet has captured hearts and minds across the entire planet. There has never been another poetry from (not even close) that has entertained or captured the creativity of so many impressive minds over the last 8 centuries. But most classrooms barely scratch the surface of the rich history of this form, and the many traditions it formed in almost every country across the globe. The publishers of Local Gems Press will take you on a journey with the sonnet across time and across the globe while trying to answer what it is about this form that has given it such long-lasting power.
