The Making Of A Sonnet by Edward Hirsch
A lively, readable exploration of the sonnet that traces its development from Italian origins through Shakespeare and into modern practice, using close readings, translations, and personal reflection to show how the form’s strict patterns—meter, rhyme, the volta—shape meaning and feeling. It illuminates technical craft and inventive variations, demonstrating how poets bend and renew the fourteen-line form and offering practical insight for both readers and writers into the sonnet’s enduring expressive power.
