I want to dive into John Keats' poems. Some recommendations? Is there a good starting point for any collected works?

I found a 'Hyperion: a fragment' book but I don't know if that poem is incomplete (for the 'a fragment' subtitle).

Hyperion is very good. Keats abandoned the poem because it was too Miltonic ( that's what "A Fragment" refers to), but there's some incredible stuff in it.

Anything from 1819 (his odes especially) and 1820 is genius, just about the most sustained period of brilliance in English verse. He's also one of great sonneteers in English, so check them out too.

any Keats collected or selected works will certainly have all the famous poems and starting points

the odes -autumn, nightingale, Grecia urn, psyche, melancholy
when I have fears I may cease to be
on sitting down to dead king lear again
on seeing the Elgin marbles
are all good starting points.

I recommend saving hyperion fall of hyperion and endymion for later.
>>
Oh yeah, and don't read Endymion either. It's so sickly sweet I feel like vomiting every time I read past the first book (song of Pan is good though).

Muh romanticism muh feels muh indivkduality
