Celebrate Burns' Night: Joe Praml reads Robert Burns' poetry including "Tam o'Shanter"
Robert Burns: Gateway to Romanticism: Joe Praml returns to Palms-Rancho Park Library to read his compilation of Robert Burns’ poetry in honor of Burns’ birthday which is January 25. It is becoming a worldwide celebration and is a holiday in Scotland. The title of Joe’s compilation refers to Burns, the ‘Bard’ of Scotland, being one of the early influences of the Romantic movement along with William Blake. After his death, he was influential to William Wordsworth, Samuel Coleridge, Percy Bysshe Shelley and John Keats.
Joe will read “My Luve’s A Red, Red Rose,” “My Bonnie Mary,” “One Fond Kiss,” “A Rose-bud, by My Early Walk,” among others, culminating in Burns’ great narrative poem about the old Scots legend “Tam o’Shanter.”
