A review by abetterjulie
The Art of the Sonnet by Stephanie Burt, David Mikics

5.0

This book took me months to finish. Not because it was hard to read or dry, but because I savored it and absorbed it, so that after only two essays, my brain was full. It's a magnificent work of analysis and celebration of the sonnet. I loved this book. I loved it so much that I'm actively seeking another book just like it so I can continue to chew on history, words, and emotion.
