About

‘The sonnet is an argument, and you open up the sonnet with a suggestion and then you turn and come to a conclusion towards the end.’

Join award-winning poet Anthony Joseph for an intimate poetry writing workshop as part of the Wheeler Centre’s international writers series, World of Words.

As a lecturer in the Department of English at King’s College London and winner of this year’s prestigious TS Eliot Prize for his collection Sonnets for Albert, Joseph is internationally recognised as a master of the form.

With limited capacity available, secure your place now and take your poetry to new heights. This workshop will offer participants a unique opportunity to learn new techniques from Joseph and explore fresh approaches to the sonnet.

Presented in partnership with Writers Victoria. Supported by Australian Poetry.
