Essential Keats
Essential Keats: Selected by Philip Levine | John Keats
5 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
From the introduction by Philip Levine: Walter Jackson Bate, in his biography of Keats, has writers, critics, readers, have approached Keats during the last century, on one quality in his writing they have been completely united. They have all been won by an economy and power of phrase excelled only by Shakespeare." This poet whose greatest ambition was to he "among the English poets" is not only preeminent among those of the past, but for well over a century he has continued to be the yardstick by which those who have written poetry in our language can measure their success. He remains a wellspring to which all of us might go to refresh our belief in the value of this art.

This one stuck out to me while I was searching my poetry books for today's poem. I feel like it was one that one of my professors had us read because it feels familiar. (1 of 3)

SharonGoforth I like the imagery of "her book a churchyard tomb". How many stories those tombs could tell! 8y
