Hegley on Keats
"“Constant juggling of poetry, music and comedy created a unique and quirky
one-man cabaret from a visually challenged Luton lad who's become an
unlikely national treasure.” Norwich Evening News.
A welcome
return for friend of the SPL, John Hegley. Come and hear old favourites
about guillemots, glasses and dogs alongside poems from John’s brand-new
pamphlet.
A Scarcity of Biscuit is a look at the letters (of John
Keats) in the light of the poet's affinity with hats, family, medicine and
celery. And also his association with kennels, the French and fig rolls.
Event
will be in-person at the SPL only. The SPL is well ventilated and Covid
protocols will be in place.

Wordsworth has been to daffodils.' The Independent"
