The Audrey audiobook with the guide really enhanced my listening experience and helped me to better understand Keats as a poet and this cross-section of his poetry. I don't read a lot of poetry and the guide helped my to interpret and appreciate the poems exponentially more than had I just read the poems alone. The guide provided historical context of the times, context of Keats' life, and the influences and inspiration for his poetry. All the information pulled together by the guide allow you to grasp the meaning of the poetry without having to be a literary scholar, making this 17th century poet accessible to the lay-person.

An excellent audiobook by Audrey, featuring a selection of John Keats' poems.
I enjoyed listening and reading to the poems, even if the language used and the themes covered by Keats made it difficult for me to fully grasp the meaning and the beauty of his poetry.
The notes were very helpful.

I am not sure i could 100% appreciate this as it should have been. The poems where nice and wonderfully composed.

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.
