Hopkins

The Mystic Poets Series

BY GERALD MANLEY HOPKINS

Brief Description:
Not published until after his death, the poems of Gerard Manley Hopkins were written purely as a spiritual exercise. He used a language that is still fresh today and startling metaphors, his underlying subject was a soul wrestling with ideas and searching for God. This book has an introduction about Hopkins life and view of mysticism, and excerpts of his writing about poetry and two sermons on Jesus. Twenty of his best known and most profound poems are included.
