"Poetry and Song" featuring Paul Muldoon: Aug. 27 - Sept. 4, 2011

	Share on Facebook E-mail to Friend StumbleUpon Digg		August 27 - September 4, 2011 Join the Academy of American Poets for a week of travel and programs exploring "Poetry & Song" in England's Cotswolds region. For registration details and program materials, visit www.poets.org/poetryandsong. The Setting Burnt Norton is located two miles outside of the picturesque Cotswolds village of Chipping Campden, a popular destination for travelers interested in the history and rural charm of the Cotswolds. For poetry lovers, Burnt Norton is deeply associated with T.S. Eliot, who visited the estate and walked the gardens in the mid-1930s and later published the now-famous poem "Burnt Norton," the first of his four great poems in the groundbreaking book Four Quartets. This unique travel learning experience will feature: • A conversation with Paul Muldoon about his work and the different ways in which he approaches the writing of poems and song lyrics; • A daily seminar with Nigel Smith, Professor of Literature at Princeton, exploring the work of modern poets and songwriters, including Emily Dickinson, Cole Porter, William Butler Yeats, Paul Simon, Edward Hirsch, Bob Dylan, Philip Levine, Ira Gershwin, Walt Whitman, and Joni Mitchell; • A reading and concert by Paul Muldoon and his band Wayside Shrines; • A gala dinner in the Clocktower Room at Burnt Norton, hosted by Lord and Lady Harrowby, the owners of the estate; • A reading of Eliot's "Burnt Norton," accompanied by a performance of Beethoven's String Quartet in A Minor (Opus 132), the musical inspiration for Eliot's poem; • A tour of the gardens at nearby Hidcote Manor, the first property acquired by the National Trust specifically for its garden. The week will also include leisurely walks through the countryside, picnics in the Burnt Norton gardens, and visits to the shops, restaurants, pubs, and historic sites of Chipping Campden and other scenic Cotswold villages.
