Böcker i Muse Books: The Iowa Series in Creativity and Writing-serien

The Romantic poet John Keats, considered by many as one of the greatest poets in the English language, has long been the subject of attention from scholars who seek to understand him and poets who seek to emulate him. Bridging these impulses, A Brighter Word Than Bright is neither historical biography nor scholarly study, but instead a biography of Keats's poetic imagination.

Writing was the central passion of Emerson's life. Emerson advised that 'the way to write is to throw your body at the mark when your arrows are spent'. This title shows us an Emerson who is no granite bust but instead is a fully fleshed, creative person disarmingly willing to confront his own failures.
