About The Event

A Joy Forever - loaded encounters with Keats and Wordsworth developed by poets and friends Julia Bird and Mike Sims. 

The title quotation comes from Keats' poem Endymion, elements of which were written during the poet's stay at the Bo Peep pub in St Leonards.   In 1818, John Keats set out on a walking tour of the Lake District and Scotland. He called in at Wordsworth's house, but missed him by a whisker: the elder poet was out for the day.  Keats' missed meeting with Wordsworth is the starting point for an hour of lively chat about the gatherings, get-togethers and chance encounters that kept the Romantics' circle spinning. Expect reading and conversation, old and new poems, games and giveaways ... and a tip of the hat to Keats’ meeting with a mysterious older woman in St Leonards...
