Atheneum

Philip Levine, American poet and author, has selected a wonderful collection of John Keats' greatest works, showcasing a poet of intelligence, craft and charm, second only to Shakespeare in his brilliant power of phrase. "This poet whose greatest ambition was to be 'among the English poets,'" Levine writes in his introduction, "is not only preeminent among those of the past, but for well over a century he has continued to be the yardstick by which those who have written poetry in our language can measure their success. He remains a wellspring to which all of us might go to refresh our belief in the value of this art."

Ecco

This collection of great poems has been put together quite thoughtfully in order to create a seamless flow between works. The proof lies in the use of multiple works from several authors instead of one work per author. This format creates continuity from one work to another. It is throughout this continuity that something greater than each piece forms. A connection with not just one work, but the collection itself. This particular format creates a deeper look and stronger connection with the author, but isolates the intimacy between reader and author down to one emotion. Not all of the consecutive works from an author recreate this. In other instances, themes from the author vary from one piece to the next. What binds the work in this case isn't theme, but style in expression. This gives the reader an overall and in depth view of the poet.
