In May I will be hosting a small series focused on the Romantic poet John Keats. My posts will include impressions of poems including Lamia, When I Have Fears, La Belle Dame Sans Merci, and Ode to a Grecian Urn, excerpts from a few letters, photographs of places he lived, and some recitations.
One thing I'd really love is for other bloggers to join in! We could create a blog tour for the event. If you'd like to write a post with your feelings on anything relating to Keats please either comment below, send me a tweet, or fill out a contact form letting me know you'd like to be involved. I'll reach back out to you in April to confirm the details of what you will be writing and which day you will publish it on your blog. That way we can create a schedule for the blog tour.
You can be creative with your post if you'd like and select artwork that suits one of his poems, write a poem about Keats or how his poem made you feel, a review, musings, anything that is reflective.
Those who will be following the series, more details will be available mid-late April.

Relatively new reader here, hi! Love your blog. Also, I definitely want to be a part of this blog tour. I've never done anything like this before, but Keats is probably my favorite poet.

I'd love to join! Haven't decided yet what to write but will think about it.
Oh, I love Keats! I'm not much of a poetry person, but if there is one poet whom I love, whose language makes me shiver with delight, it is Keats. :D
Please do count me in. I need to think about what I'm going to write. I might write about my first experience with Keats and why I loved him after Ode to Autumn. I shall confirm it when you get things running in April. :)
Ah, I adore Keats and would love to contribute to the event if you still need participants. Perhaps I could write a response about his letters to Fanny Brawne if someone hasn't already suggested this? Those letters kill me...in a good way. ;)
Excellent idea!
