Do any of you doing English - or who've done English in the past - use the term 'volta' to mean a change in the tone or direction of a poem - or at least sonnets - halfway through/towards the end?
We used it at A-level but I can't find mention of it in the poetry anthology we're using right now. Just wondered if it was something only we'd done.
Poetry is driving me crazy. Help?
