Description

Why are there no sad limericks? (You’ve never seen one, right?) What’s the difference between an Italian sonnet and an English sonnet? (Hint: Not the nationality of the author or the language they’re written in.) And why do English and Italian sonnets typically tell different kinds of stories? Learn the answers to these questions and more when you study five kinds of fixed forms: limericks, triolets, villanelles, sestinas, and sonnets. Limited enrollment.
