A Week of the Odes

We're celebrating John Keats' odes and we want you to join us: post a video of yourself reading your favorite of the odes, or read your own, or write one and then leave them in the comments section of this blog—we want to hear from you!

If you're in the Portland (Oregon) area please join us on Sunday, September 28th at Powell's on Hawthorne. We'll be hosting poet
Stanley Plumly as the jewel in our Week of the Odes celebration. The acclaimed poet and Keats scholar will draw you wonderfully into the truths and beauties about the afterlife of the Romantic poet, John Keats. Find out what makes poetry truly poetry.

Plumly's acclaimed new book, Posthumous Keats, is the result of 20 years of reflection on the enduring poetry of one of England's greatest Romanticists. Incisive in its observations and beautifully written, this work is an ode to the man who saw his mortality as fatal to his poetry. This event is free. Bring a friend or two.
