Odes for John Keats - Keats-Shelley200
In 1819 John Keats composed most of the poems for
which he is best remembered and most loved today, including his Great
Odes. In 2019, to mark the bicentenary of Keats's extraordinarily creative
year, this new volume features new Odes in English and Italian written by
celebrated poets, including Annelisa Alleva, Simon Armitage, Gillian Clarke,
Imtiaz Dharker, Paolo Febbraro, and Liz Lochhead, among others. The book, which
contains a lively introduction by Professor Duncan Wu, is printed and sold by
the Keats-Shelley House as part of our Keats-Shelley200 campaign to celebrate
the achievements of Keats and Shelley 200 years from their deaths.

Immortal Bird
"Nothing could be more characteristic of the Romantics
than their ability to see the world afresh. And this is nowhere more clearly
seen than in this selection of poems commemorating a small, little-seen bird,
which has an important place in mythology and literature: the
nightingale." (from the introduction
by Duncan Wu)
This travel-sized collection of 22 poems chronicles the
conversation between the Romantic poets and the tiny bird which, for them,
spoke with the very voice of nature itself.
