In this six-week, online workshop with @rosebudbenoni.bsky.social, we'll examine how contemporary poets today are redefining the sonnet and write our own sonnets, including the double sonnet, the triple sonnet and finally, our own crown of sonnets. brooklynpoets.org/workshop/p/t...

New poem in @adroitjournal.bsky.social + audio recording 🔉 My first poem from :: S P A C E H O R S E :: I’ve been trying to explain certain things to my niece. I tell her not to “get geese” & then will do, have done, the opposite. This poem came from that. theadroitjournal.org/issue-fifty-...

Back at @brooklynpoets.bsky.social to explore all that is the sonnet. Students write variety of sonnets, including the double sonnet, the triple sonnet and finally, their own crown of sonnets. brooklynpoets.org/workshop/p/t...
