To celebrate Keats's love for the Classics in the week of #keats200 we're hosting an informal evening of readings and musings of and about Keats and his classical influences. We just want to enjoy sharing lovely poetry! All welcome. @jmbwallace1 @QueensCam @Queens_Lib @LitCamb
One of the best-loved poems ever composed in English survives in its original draft at the Fitz, written by one of our greatest Romantic poets, #JohnKeats on scrap paper. Keats, moved by the song of a nightingale in his garden, wrote the lyrics spontaneously within a few hours.
Watching @barefacedgreek's beautiful opening of Troades in the @V_and_A with statues "playing mortals", brought to life by the words of the gods, reminds me of #LeeMiller's stunning performance in #JeanCocteau Le Sang D'un Poète and L'Ennui mortel de l'immortalité @FarleysHG
Has been an inspiring evening for us- we're honing our own "Zoom Craft" for our production of Thesmophoriazoomtime coming out in June!
Highly innovative and thought-provoking presentations by @barefacedgreek, @ByJoveTheatre and @wordsofchaos. Fantastic to see how everyone has adapted their craft during the pandemic and how inventive their performative approaches have been. A brilliant end to Day 2 of #CA2021!
Excited to share early cover of my novel, Daughters of the Labyrinth, out in July. Set in Crete - about mothers, daughters, families, secrets, past in the present, the hidden layers of memory, and the general wonderfulness of Crete where I have spent so much of my life.
We are very pleased to announce our first ever Antigone Competition! Please do take a look (and enter!). antigonejournal.com/2021/04/patchi…

Patching up the New Naso: The First Antigone Competition
ANTIGONE Our First Competition
Come on folks. Our friends at @AntigoneJournal have a real scoop: the first new chunk of Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso) for 600 yrs.& guess what, it's on his nose (nasum). What a punster the boy was. Get there quick, I fear they may have to take it down soon. bit.ly/3u9yJOb

A superb #Keats talk tonight @ClassicsQueens thanks so much Jennifer - refreshing, eloquent & pivotal. I’m now seeing Keats in a new light - time to restore the class politics & hear the provocative in his poetry #Keats200 @eleanormedcalf @MariaTelnikoff @LitCamb @camclassicssoc
Speaking this evening to enthusiastic classicists about Keats’s love of all things Greek. #Keats200

For #Keats200 ' death anniversary, here is Angelos Sikelianos' poem, "Yannis Keats," that imagines Keats both in Homeric Greece and as a Greek poet--here I read my translation: bsa.ac.uk/videos/angelos…
