By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Petitions for Immortality: Scenes from the Life of John Keats (Paperback)
Petitions For Immortality: Scenes From The Life Of John Keats is a work of free-verse poetry by Robert Cooperman and structured around chosen moments from the life of John Keats. Brought to life with realistic, human characterization, these impressive and original verses paint a solid picture of a transcendental literary figure of English literature. How Stephens Remembers John Keats From Their Days At Guy's Hospital: Why he ever attended a lecture/I'll never know: Poetry his shining Lady;/surgery, a serpent he handled/with thick gloves.//His opinion of his place in the pantheon/was huge as the stone dragon sculpting/the boundary of old London./His verses were no better/than my own green efforts,/but he barely let his eye rest/on the odes I showed him;/he yawned, "Stick to surgery,"/as if saving lives were not better than stuffing sausages...
