I want to get into Keats, because he keeps getting referenced in other fiction that I love.

Anyone have recommendations for where to start, and also what to pay attention to?

    Start with the poems of manageable size, and take the time to read them aloud, and appreciate how they feel in your mouth, as well as how they sound. There’s something so luxurious about parts of “To Autumn,” for instance. And it helps you notice the ways he plays with variations on the meter, which is much harder to perceive reading in your head.
