The Romantic Poets


The Romantic Poets
Keats, Shelley, Byron, Wordsworth

The romantic poets Keats, Shelley, Byron and Wordsworth, etc are the subject of the January offering, courtesy of the Candlelight Reading Series. 

The romantic readers Melinda Waters, Neil Cunningham and Freddy Niagara Fonseca will be reciting selections form the works of these poets on Saturday, January 10, 2009, 8:00 p.m. at Revelations, upstairs.

Although these works are obviously considered the “Classics”, they benefit from a modern interpretative style of recitation without losing sight of their 19th century origin.  Come hear for yourself! Free admission.
