5.0 out of 5 stars
the greatest poetry ever written,
By gabrielle leblanc (San Jose, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Selected Poetry (World's Classics) (Paperback)
Gerard Manley Hopkins is the greatest English poet to ever put pen to paper, bar none. Yes, even better than Shakespeare. Every student of English lit should read Hopkins. Hopkins writes from a profound love and awe of God and the beauty of His creations, but also from a deep despair resulting from chronic depression. His mastery of classical English combined with his magic use of sounds and word inventions is sheer genius. Read him.
