Fanny Brawne, fiancée and muse of the great Romantic era poet John Keats, was born on August 9, 1800. Keats most likely addressed his sonnet "Bright Star" to Fanny. If you are interested in learning more a about the relationship between Fanny Brawne and John Keats, I highly recommend Jane Campion's exquisite film "Bright Star."
To commemorate Fanny Brawne's birthday I include the pantoum that I wrote for her (published in FAIRY TALE, 2022).
