Turning Points: The Role of the Volta in Poetry

Turning Points: The Role of the Volta in Poetry

Presented by The Writer's Center at The Writer's Center

Although we associate the term "volta" with the traditional sonnet form, it has been used with great success by many contemporary poets. Marking a shift in the poem?s tone, subject, or logic, the volta has been compared to a change of key in music. In this workshop, we will explore how turning your attention in a new direction can open up a poem, allowing it to leap to another level of significance or meaning.
