Keats was interesting. I'm sure I would've liked to dissect this in english class. Very dense, but didnt manage to reach me at a deeper level even with the interpretations and guidance. I also didnt particularly enjoy the narrator and their rhythm, which might be a contributing factor to the general lack of emotional impact.

Interesting to compare with the more modern poetry that I’ve been reading lately. I love the Audrey guides, as they are a great way to engage more deeply with the material.

A nice collection of poems. Some. I enjoyed more than others but is a good introduction into Keat's work.

Audrey was such a beautiful way to experience Keats' poetry! You can listen to each poem twice and there's a link to read along too. Highly recommend the Audrey audiobook for helpful information from the guide, insights from Keats' letters, and beautiful illustrations to soak up the atmosphere.
