I met Keats through Dan Simmons - Hyperion. It's one of those books that hasn't quite left my mind despite finishing it some time ago.

The combination of a 17th century poet and far future sci-fi is, at first, rather absurd. But the simple and deep connection to topics on love and humanity, something only poetry can provide, is a a beautiful complement to fantastic and terrifying sci-fi concepts in Hyperion. Empathy, love and human connection are the underlying message of the books despite the fun sci-fi facade. I love this series and recommend it to all.

I couldn’t make it through this long article but loved reading about Severn, Fanny Brawne, and Keats— all beloved characters from the hyperion series.

It is Amazing that Keats, Byron and Shelley all moved in the same circle and produced their work at almost the same time, and all 3 died young. Of the three I find Keats to be the easiest to get into.
