We’re excited to announce a new series here at The Hyacinth Review highlighting various poetic forms! Each post in the series will focus on a specific form, its history, construction, and a few of our favorite examples.
We hope that this will serve to inspire and motivate those of you who love poetry as much as we do, and perhaps introduce some new skills to your craft.
You can return back to this post, as we’ll be updating it whenever new posts in the Poetic Forms series are published.
