This month’s Red Dirt Writes takes place on Tuesday, June 17, at 7:00 p.m. at Literati Press in the Paseo. Jordan Buggs will lead the writing workshop on the American sonnet. Bring your notebook and favorite writing utensil. 📓

The American Sonnet: Form and Freedom 🇺🇸
�Explore the evolution of the American sonnet, from its European roots to the subversive innovations of contemporary poets. We’ll examine structure, the volta, and the thematic possibilities of the sonnet while writing our own poems that challenge and expand the form. 📝

Jordan Buggs is a poet and photographer whose work explores memory, language, and Black cultural identity. His sonnets weave contemporary themes with formal structures, creating a bridge between tradition and innovation. 🌉
