Three of Keats' most beloved poems, boldly illustrated. This edition creates a single visual narrative from three poems: Bright Star, Ode to a Nightingale and Ode on a Grecian Urn. Through these three masterpieces, Beauty is Truth explores the poet's longing for the eternal, the ideals that transcend the frailty of the human condition, and affirms the greatest human gift: the capacity for connection to each other.
John Keats is the James Dean of poetry. He was romantic, brilliant, and died tragically young. Despite only publishing 54 poems, he is widely recognized as one of the greats of all time.

Original, poetic and witty! ✨
love the black and white aesthetic…and beautiful quality.
I bought four books and for some reason the box would not ship to my address. The seller kept trying until I finally received the package! Wonderful customer service, I'd like to buy from this shop again.

Out of the three I purchased, this one was my favorite. The illustrations are simply beautiful. It’s the perfect size to fit into a purse. A wonderful addition to my library
The illustrations are beautiful, yet they overwhelm the text at times. The books are travel sized. My opinion is a high end magazine format would be a better fit.
Brilliant selection of words blended with amazing and engrossing artwork...love it.
A really nice book to add a touch of class to any room

Beautiful item and prompt shipping
Lovely in every way: artistic design, poetry selection, sophisticated black and white illustrations. Nicely packaged, durable small book to carry around or display.
I sent this to a friend as a Secret Santa gift. She described it as a "gorgeous illustrated book of Keats poems" so I think she liked it. It was dispatched very quickly too.
Lovely books and nice quality
