John Keats: Poems (Abridged) Audiobook

" Swoon! I can always read Keats. What a master at construction, meter, and rhyme. If you give his poems enough time, I feel they reveal his complex philosophy on life too. It is truly tragic that he died so young and didn't have more time to live his life and expand his craft. Fantastic poetry that's not too hard to work through but ever so rewarding as you do. "

" I am usually not a fan of highly structured poetry but I found these to be refreshing and quite enjoyable. "

" This rating is a personal response to Keats' poetry. It bores me to tears and evokes nothing within me. I love poetry- but only that which makes me feel something and his works don't do that for me. Perhaps this is because I was forced to study it for my VCE literature class but I think it's more because its all about fairy clouds and love. It lacks intensity. "

" Far and away my favorite poet. "

" The poems are, of course, excellent, but the print is tiny...makes for somewhat unpleasant reading. "

" Some beautiful writing; just a shame he died young. "

" really mixed bag. some great poems and some with context that was too antiquated for me. "

" One of my favorite poets - "

" I would seriously marry this guy. "

" Very touching. To be read with a leisurely mind. But i found the language quite complicated due to myriad references to Greek mythology - so missed out the context altogether. But those few poems i could understand, i appreciated thoroughly. "

" Pocket sized and can fit into most average sized purses. "

" Una bellissima edizione economica per uno dei grandi poeti romantici inglesi. Consigliatissima a tutti gli appassionati di poesia. "

" These poems were too deep for me to understand and was not romantic to me in any way. "

" This was my first favorite. When I was a young teen, I carried this collection around everywhere I went. I still have it. It's held together with duct tape. "

" Studied him many times in college, even visited the "Ode to a Nightingale" tree and home in London, but never fell in love until I saw "Bright Star" a brilliant new film about Keats. Now I'm hooked on his Poetry! "

" Keats' natural flow of words when coupled with his interest for knowledge creates the most enjoyable poems for anyone with a love for poetry. "

" Some of my favourite poems by Keats are there, a good ensemble in my opinion. Sums up pretty much everything he wrote. "

" I just love good poetry. Keats is one of the bests. "

" some poems were magical. some were very lengthy and boring. "

" I prefer to the poem called "The Ode to Nightingale" for the rest of the book. It's quite completely thrilled to take a glimpse on it. (Although it's a tough task for a beginner reader, that's for sure.) "

" The verses approach the sublime, especially in the odes, with their sensuous imagery and unexpected metaphors. I found it hard to fully sink my teeth into the narrative poems, inspired by classical mythology; when it comes to rendering the English landscape, though, Keats is quite peerless. "
