February 23, 2021, marked the 200th anniversary of the English Poet John Keats's death in Italy in 1821. I am going back to the early program's roots in poetry, with a documentary made and recorded on location on the Isle of Wight.
Shortly before his untimely death, he made two trips to the Island. Walking With Keats follows his route taken, where he stayed, observations made and poems written there.
