Virtual Event: The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
Join the Poetry at SMSA group for a reading of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner in appreciation of Coleridge’s epic poem published in 1798.
Considered a masterpiece of world literature, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner 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 has become a tradition in recent years at SMSA that we are delighted to continue in 2021 via Zoom.

About Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Samuel Taylor Coleridge was born on October 21, 1772 in Devon, England. A friend to poet William Wordsworth, Coleridge was a founder of the English Romantic Movement. His best known poems are The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Christabel and Kubla Khan, the latter of which, some say, may have been written under the influence of opium. Coleridge died in 1834.
