Daily Writing Prompts

"The Romantic poets This week, in the Guardian and the Observer, every day's paper comes with a free pamphlet on one of the great Romantics poets, from John Keats through to William Blake. As well as a selection of the poets' finest works, each pamphlet contains excerpts from their personal correspondence and a foreword from a modern-day admirer, with Christopher Hitchens championing Percy Bysshe Shelley, Margaret Drabble on William Wordsworth and Don Paterson writing in praise of Robert Burns. On the website, you can listen to readings of the featured poet's poems, join our daily discussions of their seminal works with the books blog's poet-in-residence, Carol Rumens, and download this week's books podcast, in which literary editor Claire Armitstead talks to Andrew Motion and the series editor, Nicholas Wroe, about the Romantics' legacy.
