- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 07 Apr, 2026 at 11:00 pm – Wed, 08 Apr, 2026 at 12:30 am (+00:00)
- **Event Description**: This program takes a look at one of the most frequently used poetic forms--the Sonnet--and traces the history of these 14-line gems from their beginnings in Italy during the early Renaissance to the modern period. The second half of the hour will focus on American sonnets of the past two centuries, including Emma Lazarus’s dedication of Lady Liberty to the world’s tired and poor, as well as sonnets by Longfellow, Frost, and Millay. Here are America's Petrarchs and Shakespeares, the masters who, by living within the strictures of the octave and the sestet, found a full voice, enlarged a tradition, and changed the sonnet forever.
