Bright Star: Love Letters and Poems of John Keats to Fanny Brawne by John Keats

5.0

After watching Jane Campion's film Bright Star which is about the love affair between the poet John Keats and the literal "girl next door" Fanny Brawne, I immediately wanted to read his poetry. Alas, when I went to my nearest bookstore there were no books of his poetry to be found!! On my way back out the door, I found this book sitting on the trade paperback table. It's a great little companion to the gorgeous film containing all his letters written to Fanny and all his poems written about her. There just aren't romances like this anymore. . .
