Honored to be speaking @ the Keats-Shelley House, Rome on Tuesday, February 21, 2017 at 5.00 p.m. Piazza di Spagna 26, Rome Italy [see map].
As a Southerner and New Victorian with themes of Romanticism and Hellenism close to my heart, the lecture and reading, The Romantics and Greece: Myth, Transcendence, Love and Beauty is a pairing of poems, old to new from Keats, Shelley and Byron from Ode to Sonnet and Portico to Triptych, the latter two poetic forms which I have designed.
The poetry re-weaves, re-narrates and progresses mythology to philosophy and the classics through “new eyes”.
