About this episode

The episode features William Shakespeare's 'Sonnet 99', highlighting its irregular structure and themes.

Today’s poem is one of Shakespeare’s “irregular” sonnets–he’s got 99 problems (most of them flowers), but strict obedience to the requirements of the sonnet form ain’t one. Happy reading.
