I fell in love with the one woman who only exists in my dreams. I took a bullet in a warehouse ambush where I should’ve died. Instead, I woke up in a mansion. Too vivid to be a dream.

Infusing the work with her own experience and passion, Browning produced a true masterpiece.

'What the imagination seizes as Beauty must be truth' So wrote the Romantic poet John Keats (1795-1821) in 1817. This collection The Complete Poetry of John Keats contains all of his poetry: the early work, which is often undervalued even today, the poems on which his reputation rests including the Odes and of the uncompleted epic Hyperion, and work which only came to light after his death including his attempts at drama and comic verse. It all demonstrates the extent to which he tested his own dictum throughout his short creative life.

Some words were never meant to be spoken. Some letters were written but never sent, folded away in the quiet corners of time. Still, they linger. In the hush before dawn, in the spaces between footsteps, in the salt-laced wind that moves through empty rooms. This book is not a collection of answers, nor a search for closure. It is a meditation on what remains—on the echoes of voices we can no longer hear, on the weight of things left behind, on the way absence shapes us as much as presence does.
