Gerard Manley Hopkins is my second favorite poet of all time. This collection is small and contains the poem, "I wake and feel the fell of dark not day" which I have been trying to memorize for years, but can't seem to do it. Even when I take this book around with me for a month, practicing in every spare moment - it must be his writing. Beyond me. I love it so much.
Very dated style of poetry: wordy, effusive, mawkish and pious. This book is going in the DAV bag.
One of the most powerful religious poets ever. I found a beautiful old edition at a used bookstore and couldn't resist.
he's finally starting to get his just due for his impact on modern poetry, but it was a long time coming. hopkins' perspective on nature and god is always profound, poetic, and as beautiful as any of the subjects he writes about. favorite poem? well, almost too hard to pick. but - wreck of the deustchland. or inversnaid.
Poetry. The soul-filling Hopkins in an accessible, portable format. Read (memorize, and recollect upon) if you appreciate poetry with an intense feeling for nature and an ecstatic awareness of its divine origins. Lovely poetry, wonderful presentation.
I do love me some Gerard. The prose is shockingly dry, considering how un-dry the poems are, but the journals have their moments of transcendence. Hop's poetry remains some of the most difficult and dazzling I've read.
I love Gerard Manley Hopkins!! Two of my favorite poems are "God's Granduer" and "As Kingfishers Catch Fire." I have read and will read his poetry book many times!
Does the world really need Abby Paige's review of Gerard Manley Hopkins? I think not.

Gerard Manley Hopkins was an English poet, Roman Catholic convert, and Jesuit priest, whose 20th-century fame established him posthumously among the leading Victorian poets. His experimental explorations in prosody (especially sprung rhythm) and his use of imagery established him as a daring innovator in a period of largely traditional verse.
