Keats was the first poet I really loved and his poems have retained their place in my heart. I enjoyed learning more about his background, where he lived, his friendships, and love for Fanny.
I loved this book! ❤️ Miller hits the perfect note between biography, literary criticism, personal essay and poetry. Every chapter/essay begins with Keats‘ poems. It was a delight to be reintroduced to his genius in such a refreshing manner. This is a charming book!
John Keats died 200 years ago at the age of 25. In her new book, Miller provides an interesting and thoughtful consideration of the poet through close readings and the contextualizing backstories of nine poems (and that infamous epitaph).
