Selected Poetry by John Keats
3.0
The ability to read, understand, and appreciate classic poetry is definitely one of those "use it or lose it skills." Reading Keats in college was enjoyable and challenging, but reading Keats 15 year out of college? Cumbersome and confusing.
I didn't really enjoy any of the poems in this collection. Except one. I'm so glad I discovered "Isabella, or the Pot of Basil." The story has taken over my brain, and I think about it a lot.
But in general, Keats just kinda drones on and on and on, barely hitting main points and ideas. It really was a trudge. Which is sad, because I really used to enjoy his poems.
