# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Starlight Wood: Walking back to the Romantic Countryside - Fiona Sampson
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 11 Apr, 2026 at 03:30 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: Poet Fiona Sampson spent a year walking in the Romantics' footsteps, from Kent to Kintyre, setting out across ten landscapes as the Romantics once did, while writing, traveling, settling, or trying to define the rural environment, remaining radically alive to the interaction between the human and the natural world. The result was Starlight Wood - part literary biography, part cultural history, and part an essay about place.  

In this event Fiona talks about Starlight Wood, a book which brilliantly examines the importance of the countryside in shaping Romantic attitudes,  and offers a gripping insight into the lives of some of the most influential figures of the age.  Fiona also shares some of her own luminous, transportive and fiercely original poems.
