Kieron Winn will be poet in residence at Rydal Mount later this month and will host a free reading.
Kieron takes up his residency at William Wordsworth’s home from September 10 to September 15 and at 4pm on Saturday September 13, Kieron will read from his new collection of poems, No Time, in Wordsworth’s drawing room.
Admission is free. Gingerbread and other refreshments will be served.
Kieron, whose poems have appeared in magazines such as New Statesman, The Spectator and The Times Literary Supplement, was previously poet in residence at the house in 2021.
He said: ‘It’s wonderful to be returning to my favourite poet’s favourite home. It’s an honour, and I am very grateful to Christopher Wordsworth Andrew for his kindness in inviting me. I’ve been coming to the Lake District since I was 18, and Wordsworth’s poetry runs deep in my heart.”
Kieron studied English at Christ Church, Oxford. He still lives in Oxford, and spends much of the year in Penrith.
