- **Event Description**: Join Jan Westwood for a guided exploration of John Donne's poetry and why it remains relevant to today's readerAbout this EventDonne was born in 1572 into a dynamic, exuberant and often divided society which makes his work highly relevant to our own complex and often troubled age.He wrote poetry of great drama, intensity, wit and elegant argument. His poems revel in paradox and ambiguity in his relationships with sex, love, death and religion. T.S. Eliot said of him that, ‘a thought to him was an experience; it modified his sensibility,’ suggesting that he unified intellectual thought and emotional feeling in his poetry. Whilst Eliot admired Donne’s highly original imagery and his raw, eloquent use of language, he also felt as if Donne was shouting in the listener’s ear.Join Jan for a guided exploration of the poetry of this magnificent poet and fascinating man.Jan was a teacher of English for over 40 years and has had her poems published in various anthologies. She has an MA in English Literature and chairs various poetry groups in person and online.Ticket price includes tea or coffee and cake!
