An Evening with Keat's Art and Poetry

It reflected on the event created in the Woollahra Galleries to celebrate Keats work and the 200 years since his death. Artists were asked to reflect on his poetry and create artworks from a chosen poem. The review is below published today on Australian Children's Poetry website. Enjoy.
