Writing & Editing Prize-winning Sonnets with Hannah Lowe
Tue 19 May 2026 to Tue 19 May 2026
A unique sonnet workshop where Hannah Lowe will explore the mechanics of sonnets by generously sharing how she generated her own award-winning poems, including poems from her collection The Kids (winner of the Costa Book of the Year, shortlisted for the TS Eliot prize, Poetry Book Society Choice). There will be plenty of time for questions and discussion
We also consider elements that make a sonnet work, and explore influences and examples through close reading. The session includes practical writing exercises.
