Rhyme & Reason - a brief introduction!
Event Details
If you are curious about Nancy Goldstein’s forthcoming study exploring poetic forms and conventions – Poetic Form: Rhyme & Reason – you can join her for a free-of-charge ‘Lit Salon Short’ to get a taste of what the full study will offer.
In this single meeting study we will explore three very different sonnets and sonnet forms from three different centuries: George Herbert’s The Collar (1633), Gerard Manley Hopkins’ The Windhover (1877), and Marilyn Hacker’s Fourteen (1985, handout provided to participants). Come eavesdrop on these great poets as they speak not only to us but also to one another, to tradition, to history and to convention.
JOINING DETAILS:
- Single meeting ‘Lit Salon Short’ led by Dr Nancy Goldstein
- Thursday 12 February, 6.30-8.30 pm (UK)
- ‘LitSalon Shorts’ are single-session studies (usually slightly shorter than a typical Salon study meeting) in which a facilitator shares with the wider Salon community their enthusiasm for an aspect of literature or culture.
- ‘Shorts’ are offered free-of-charge, but numbers are limited so please use the booking form below to reserve a place.
- Although there is no fee for this study, Nancy asks you to consider making a donation – perhaps the price of your last G&T or flat white? – to José Andres’ World Central Kitchen, which feeds hungry people in war and emergency zones all over the world, from Gaza and Ukraine to Pakistan and areas struggling with natural disasters.
