Synopsis
Philip Levine, American poet and author, has selected a wonderful collection of John Keats' greatest works, showcasing a poet of intelligence, craft and charm, second only to Shakespeare in his brilliant power of phrase. "This poet whose greatest ambition was to be 'among the English poets,'" Levine writes in his introduction, "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."

About the Author
John Keats was one of those immensely gifted nineteenth century artists whose work became widely appreciated only after his death. Despite the critics of the day and the fact that death at the tender age of twenty-six prevented him from maturing further as a poet, Keats managed to create some of the greatest lyrical poems ever written.
