‘I am sonnets full of stardust within

the meter of my skin.’ – Patricia Robin Woodruff.

Explore new approaches to the sonnet form and unlock new ways to hone your poetry with the 2023 TS Eliot Poetry Prize winner Anthony Joseph. In this poetry masterclass, Anthony explores the form’s accessibility and the way in which it conveys a universality of experience. You’ll be encouraged firstly to work within the sonnet’s traditional constraints, before finding ways in which your personal identity may shape and remake the form.
