Summary:

Now recognized as a major poet, Gerard Manley Hopkins was one of the most creative and influential writers of the nineteenth century. His poems, reflecting his whole-hearted involvement in all aspects of life, reveal his sense of vocation as both priest and poet, as well as his love of beauty, and his search for a unifying sacramental view of creation. This fully annotated selection offers many of his best-known poems, including "The Windhover," "Felix Randall," "Pied Beauty," "Spring and Fall," and "Carrion Comfort."
