Check-out the video stream, if you were unable to attend the lecture and reading in Rome @ the Keats-Shelley House entitled: The Romantics and Greece: Myth, Transcendence, Love and Beauty ...
As a Southerner and New Victorian with themes of Romanticism and Hellenism close to my heart, the lecture and reading pairs a series 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”.
