The Rime of the Ancient Mariner - Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Event Details
Join us for a study of Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s atmospheric poem, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. We’ll read the complete composition together, pausing between each of its seven parts to discuss the mariner’s journey and the world he inhabits.
We’ll explore how Coleridge builds suspense and mystery through vivid imagery, shifting rhythms, and encounters with the uncanny. Along the way, we’ll consider the poem’s questions about responsibility, suffering, isolation, and our relationship with the natural world.
