The Romantics

At one of the workshops a few months ago, someone suggested we look back to the Romantics for the reading group, so we'll do that at the next Bank Street Arts Poetry Cafe, on 6th November.  

Rather than look at one poet, we'll look at a few. I've included links to some poems by William Blake, John Clare, Keats and Hannah More on the Poetry Foundation website, which also has links to biographies.  Reading these will give us some common ground for the discussion, but bring your favourites to talk about, too.

Here's a link to the illuminations of Songs of Innocence and of Experience and some general context for the era.

We'll discuss the poems from 12:20 until around 1pm, and then we'll workshop our own poems.  Bring copies.

See you then.
