Fairly easy to read. Produced by Lewis Jones "Poems of Gerard Manley Hopkins" by Gerard Manley Hopkins is a collection of poetry written in the late 19th century. This work showcases Hopkins' innovative use of language, rhythm, and meter, particularly his development of "sprung rhythm," which seeks to capture the natural speech patterns of humanity. The collection explores themes of nature, spirituality, beauty, and the human experience through vivid imagery and profound emotion. The opening of this collection includes a preface where Hopkins outlines the unique rhythmic structures he employs in his poetry, specifically distinguishing between "running rhythm" and "sprung rhythm." He elaborates on how these rhythms differ from traditional meter, emphasizing the organic flow of his verse that reflects the nuances of speech and music. Following the preface, the text transitions into a series of early poems that convey a rich tapestry of imagery related to nature, spirituality, and deep personal reflection, setting the tone for the thoughtful and innovative themes that will be further developed throughout the collection.
