Synopsis

The Complete Works of John Keats encapsulates the profound poetic legacy of one of the key figures of the Romantic movement. This anthology includes Keats's most celebrated odes, narrative poems, and sonnets, revealing a mastery of rich imagery, sensual language, and emotional depth. His works often explore themes of beauty, mortality, and the interplay between the real and the ideal, crafted in a style marked by its lyrical melodicism and vivid detail. Contextually situated in the early 19th century, Keats's poetry serves as a reflection of Romantic ideals while also responding to the tumultuous socio-cultural landscapes of his time, blurring the lines between reality and imagination. John Keats (1795-1821) was a multi-faceted poet whose truncated life belied the richness of his contributions to English literature. Educated in the medical field, Keats's early exposure to science intertwined with his deep-seated love for art and beauty, underpinning the thematic richness that permeates his works. His personal experiences, including tragic losses and struggles with health, fueled his yearning for transience and the permanence of beauty, each influencing the poignant tones encapsulated in his poetry. For readers seeking an understanding of the human experience through the lens of beauty, loss, and aspiration, The Complete Works of John Keats is an indispensable treasure. It invites both casual readers and scholars to delve into the depths of romanticism, uncovering insights that resonate with the timeless aspects of the human condition. This volume stands as a testament to Keats's enduring influence, offering a poetic journey that continues to inspire and provoke thought.

Bracing

Simone Broome

‘Bracing’ is a full collection of poems, mostly about contemporary life, experienced richly, intensely, unsentimentally and with humour. The writing is humane and accessible, wearing its intelligence lightly. There is something for everyone in ‘Bracing’, even for those who were put off poetry at school. This is a mature, well-rounded piece of work. The subject matter ranges across modern life and beyond - childhood, parenthood, love, lust, loss, shopping, animals (and our connection to them), climate change, the complexities of the human heart and of relationships, spirituality, food, suffragettes, the status of women, homesickness, grief, illness, ageing, dementia, fear, the joy in small things. All the poems are underpinned by a keen eye, a sharp wit and a total absence of self-pity. Simone is a safe pair of hands, writing in an unshowy style, a poet who manages to be heartfelt, humorous and accomplished.
