But this side of him has been forgotten  or at least was never taken very seriously. He is remembered  if at all  mostly as a Romantic poet whose value and standing was magnified by his early death. Eclipsed by the lushly sensuous affection of his poems  the real meaning of his life and the greatness of his achievement in poeticshow one makes sense out of experiencehas been ignored. Now Andrs Rodrguez redresses the balance by granting to Keats Letters their huge intellectual and spiritual labor. In these Letters  one of the most inspiritng spiritual documents of the West  we see the poet forming and transfroming a passionate life of great joys and sorrows into a self of imagination and power. Book of the Heart grasps the core of Keats poetical practice of life  uncovering the path of knowledge that the Letters reveal. United with Keats in an imaginative union that is as moving as it is true  Rodrguez presents Keats as a hero of the heart  whose deep life experience oriented him in a unique way toward the world of love  suffering  death  and creativity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45275527512117,"sku":"ByrdShop_0940262576","price":91.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780940262577.jpg?v=1780509157","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/book-of-the-heart-the-poetics-letters-and-life-of-john-keats-studies-in-imagination-9780940262577","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
