I read three translations of the Canzoniere, including this one of selections from different translators. I read a bit almost every day starting Jan 1, and finally finished in May. My overall response is a little nuanced, there is a degree to which i plodded through. But it‘s, for me, my biggest reading accomplishment this year. So, Petrarch gets May.

GingerAntics The sonnets in R&J are supposed to be Petrarchan. I think I remember you reading this back at the beginning of the year. 3y
Graywacke @GingerAntics i had a lot of fun with the Petrarch references in R&J. There are lots. That R&J meeting sonnet is really wonderful. 3y
GingerAntics @Graywacke that might be my favourite sonnet. I love how the trade off the lines. It‘s great. 3y
