Negative Capability: Poetry of Keats and Company
presented by Robert Piazza, poet laureate of Litchfield

Rekindle your creative fire! Poets of all levels, from beginner to advanced, come together to read, write, and recite. In a letter to his brother, John Keats proposed a revolutionary new theory for modern poetry: the ability to be “in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason.” Join us for a generative workshop in which we explore the poetry of Keats, Dickinson, Frost, and many modern authors to see how we can apply Keats’ theory of negative capability to our own writing. Bring pencils & notebooks. Poems will be provided. Enjoy opportunities to nurture your Muse!
