#OTD 1819 Shelley writes to Leigh Hunt "I send you a sonnet. I don't expect you to publish it but you may show it to whom you wish" It is 'England in 1819'

Also #NationalPoetryDay, here's the late @BZephaniah describing how he came to love Shelley. youtube.com/watch?si=4pgmT…

For #NationalPoetryDay we wanted to share this video of the late Julian Sands, reading from Adonais. Julian was a great supporter of SMP and lover of Shelley and Keats youtu.be/GARC9anHx8M?si…

As we approach October, Shelley's Stanza. If I walk in Autumn's even While the dead leaves pass, If I look on Spring-s soft heaven,-- Something is not there which was Winter's wondrous frost and snow, Summer's clouds, where are they now? Percy Bysshe Shelley

Visiting @HorshamMuseum we saw Shelley’s Ghost, a reminder of the Godwin-Shelley family’s literary genius. Mary & Jane Shelley preserved Percy’s legacy, with the 1893 Oxford memorial. 130+ years on, it's time Horsham celebrated its own Shelley Memorial? ❤️ #Shelley #Horsham

Liz and Ted, both judges of our International Poetry Competition, combine their talents and are hosting Rhyme and Verse, a poetry open mic, next Thursday at The King's Arms, Billingshurst. To guarantee a spot, book your tickets now! #Poetry #Poetrycommunity #WestSussex

#OTD 1814 The shared journal kept by Mary Godwin and Percy Bysshe Shelley reads "Mary reads Political Justice all the morning. Study Greek. In the evening Shelley reads Thalaba aloud"

@wscountytimes also featured us and our meeting with the Emeritus Poet Laureate of Malibu, Horsham's own Nathan Hassall, at the end of August.

Great to see @wscountytimes cover @HorshamDC's consideration of support for the Shelley Memorial. But at yesterday’s Partnership meeting, we learnt the report has been pulled from Sept Cabinet. We’re working to get it back on track & will share community support options soon.

📅 #OnThisDay 1862: Thomas Jefferson Hogg, friend & biographer of Shelley, died aged 70. They met at Oxford in 1811, were expelled for publishing The Necessity of Atheism, and remained friends despite tensions. Read more 👉 wordsworth.org.uk/blog/2017/06/0…

SMP’s @sarangipani recently read this gem in @Londonist 🖼️ — Louise Vine’s Ode to the West Wind mural on Noel St, Soho, with a blue plaque marking Shelley’s brief 1811 stay, and two more nearby murals featuring Shelley hiding in plain sight. #Shelley londonist.com/london/art-and…

📢 Another Great Leap Forward! Yesterday we submitted our full planning application for Vincent Gray’s artwork honouring Horsham’s own #PercyByssheShelley 🌿✍️ A step closer to bringing Shelley home.

Blood on St Peter’s Field. Voices silenced by sabres. On #Peterloo’s anniversary, discover how Shelley’s fiercest poem was fuelled by a radical who saw it all — and defied the censors. #OTD #RiseLikeLions #Shelley cam.ac.uk/research/news/…

A magical night at St Margaret’s, Warnham — the church where Shelley was baptised — for Sounds Poetic. With moving performances by Barry Smith, Linda Kelsall-Barnett, @JohnMcCullough_ , Sasha Dugdale & more, the evening celebrated poetry in all its power. 💫 #ShelleyMemorial
