Remember Your Lovers – The Poetry of Sidney Keyes, an online audio rediscovery of the poetry of Sidney Keyes, one of Britain’s finest Second World War poets, featuring acting legend Claire Bloom, and presented by the multi-award-winning Finborough Theatre.
Sidney Keyes was born in 1922 in Dartford, Kent, and died in battle in mysterious circumstances in Tunisia at the age of twenty. Alongside Keith Douglas and Alun Lewis, although younger than both, Sidney Keyes is widely regarded as one of Britain’s outstanding poets of the Second World War. He was awarded a posthumous Hawthornden Prize for his work.
Remember Your Lovers rediscovers Keyes’s poems to tell his story through the women he loved – above all, his unrequited passion for the German Jewish refugee artist Milein Cosman – as he confronted the devastating reality of a world at war.
