Very Slight Worry with Sonnets
Reading - Literary | November 14 | 5-6:30 p.m. | Wheeler Hall, Department Lounge, 330
Please join us to contribute to, or simply enjoy, a recitation of sonnets on Thursday, October 10, 5-6:30 in the English Department Lounge (Wheeler 330).
For those who wish to contribute: bring a sonnet, from any time period by any author, to recite--from memory, if possible (though a "cheat sheet" is fine and use of one would not elicit disdain).
