📖 | Helena Bonham Carter appears in the Allie Esiri, 365 Poems for Life tik tok.

This week of 365 poems for life ends here, 'minority' Imtiaz Dharker. Love the idea that a page doesnt fight back, and how poetry can infiltrate lives 'until one day you meet a stranger and realise you know the face and recognise it as your own.'

Another sneaky peak into 365 poems for life by Allie Esiri - Atlas, U.A Fanthorpe: the kind of love that checks the insurance, doesnt forget the milkman, which remembers to plant bulbs- which upholds the permenantly rickety elaborate structures of living, as atlas did the sky

The boy-wonder of the late Romantic period, John Keats composed his entire literary output in just six years before his tragically early death, age twenty-five, from tuberculosis, on this day, 23 Feb 1821.
Here's Damian Lewis reading 'To Autumn', brilliantly, at our event…

“Looking up at the stars, I know quite well
That, for all they care, I can go to hell,
But on earth indifference is the least
We have to dread from man or beast.”
W.H. Auden, born 21 February 1907
