Shakespeare’s Sonnets with Poet and Bennington College Faculty Camille Guthrie

April 24, 2023 @ 5:30pm-6:30pm

Together we will focus on some sonnets about the Young Man or Fair Youth (as scholars call him), and Camille will talk about how the poet enacts his ideas and feelings in the formal strategies of the poems. Published first in 1609, the Sonnets reveal Shakespeare’s preoccupation with the relationship between Beauty and Memory, Love, Time, and Truth—and portray his relationship with a handsome young aristocrat and a beautiful, mysterious woman.

Camille Guthrie teaches writing and literature at Bennington College. Her latest book of poetry, DIAMONDS (BOA Editions 2021), was described in the Harvard Review as “hilarious, with zany, imaginative verve.” The Sun published her first short story, “Dating Profile” in its April issue this year.
