Yesterday was spent at the second annual T. S. Eliot Festival held at Ferrar House, Little Gidding. The day’s programme began with the annual Little Gidding Lecture, delivered by Peter Stanford, the authorised biographer of C. Day-Lewis. Titled On Not Saying Everything, the talk examined poetry’s role in capturing religious experience. The festival’s Keynote Speaker was Ingrid Soren, also known as the writer Rosamund Richardson. Fresh from the International Symposium in Florence, Soren delivered her paper We are Born with the Dead - Dante and Eliot: A Conversation. The day concluded with an evening reading by the acclaimed poet, Sean O’Brien, the recipient of both the 2007 T. S. Eliot Prize and the 2007 Forward Poetry Prize.More to come on the programme itself but for now here are photos of Little Gidding Church, Oundle School Jazz Band and Sean O'Brien.
