Poems of Gerard Manley Hopkins

A great collection, possibly everything he wrote. It includes, The Windhover, God's Grandeur, Pied Beauty, Spring and Fall (Margaret, are you grieving), Carrion Comfort, and Justus quidem tu es, Domine, as well as other completed poems and numerous fragments. The author's preface explains some of his forms and rhyme schemes, and the editor's notes at the end gives background. The poems themselves are only about a third of the book.

Understand that you have to read the book in landscape format, and even then, some of his longer lines will wrap, but at least the line endings are preserved. His work almost has to be read on the page, rather than aloud, because of the alliteration and assonances he used, as well as some of his rhymes--it's too much to read aloud. Add to that his far-reaching vocabulary, and the poems end up needing to be studied with a large dictionary.
