Don Paterson: Reading Shakespeare's Sonnets
Shakespeare’s sonnets of 1609 are as thrilling and persuasive today as they were when they were first published. Join Don Paterson, an award-winning sonneteer in his own right, as he shares his tips and advice on the art and craft of the sonnets and how best to approach them as a reader.
Don Paterson was born in 1963 in Dundee, Scotland. He works as a musician and editor, and is Professor of Poetry at the University of St Andrews. His collections of verse include God’s Gift to Women, Landing Light and the award-winning Rain. He was awarded the Queen’s Gold Medal for Poetry in 2010.
