About the Poet:

A London apothecary’s apprentice who became poetry’s brightest burning star, John Keats lived only 25 years but left verses that outshine centuries. Though mocked by critics during his brief life, his passionate odes and vivid narratives now stand as some of the most beloved poems in English. He wrote with both a surgeon’s precision and a lover’s abandon, giving us nightingales, Grecian urns, and autumn harvests that feel more alive than reality itself. Tuberculosis claimed him young, but not before he’d remade Romantic poetry forever.
