Thomas Hardy is best known for his romantic and tragic novels, but he was actually one of the greatest poets of the 20th Century. His poems explore love and death in a sensitive and beautiful way, using the landscape and wildlife of Dorset.

He was also a big supporter of Keats House Museum (100 years old on 9 May), and wrote poems for the fundraising campaign.

Poems will be read by Keats House Poetry Ambassadors
