The Rime of the Ancient Mariner read by Poetry at SMSA

Wednesday, 14 November 2018, 12:30pm – 1:30pm

Venue: Tom Keneally Centre

Tom Keneally Centre Reading

Join the Poetry at SMSA group for a dramatic reading of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner to celebrate 220 years since Coleridge’s epic poem was published in 1798.

Considered a masterpiece of world literature, Rime is a poem which can be enjoyed for its lyricism as much as its meaning, and few have not been touched by it.

The reading of this poem on this day has become a tradition in recent years at SMSA that we are delighted to continue in 2018.
