On Thursday, April 9, 2026 from 2-3:30pm on Zoom and streamed to our Kingsley Room, join us for a virtual program and learn more about the poet John Keats.
Join us as we explore the life of John Keats, including his poignant love for Fanny Brawne. Using his six great odes--all written in 1819--as stepping-stones, learn more about how they reveal the brief life of one of literature’s most brilliant poets, thinkers, and philosophers.
Led by Dr. Bill Thierfelder, a retired college professor who taught a variety of Arts and Humanities courses for 32 years at several New York universities and colleges, including St. John's University and Dowling College. He holds a Ph.D. in English, with minors in theater, art history and music history.
