Description
POETS OF THE DAWN celebrates the power of poetry to speak long after its authors are gone, and for the joy living poets experience as they work out their purpose, which is to illuminate the world to us with the light of their poetic visions. Longfellow immortalizes four of the greatest English-language poets – Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, and Keats – in poems describing their work and the influence he feels they have had on humanity.
