    Event description:
    ​From 'The Illiad' to Keats's 'Grecian Urn', Shelley's 'Medusa', and Auden's 'Icarus', poets throughout the ages have attempted to describe visual art. Join Information Officer Katty Pearce from the Guildhall Art Gallery to explore the relationship between poetry and painting, verbal and visual, truth and beauty.
