I like when it's poems, because I can always find them on Youtube
May 7– Assorted Poems by Robert Browning (1842)
Summary: Murder poem!
Commentary: There really should be more murder poems. It's a good subject. Although multiple poems about attractive dead women in the same collection is a little creepy. I appreciate how he gets right to it in our final selection "Evelyn Hope":
Beautiful Evelyn Hope is dead!
Beautiful and dead. That's his jam. Poe would've approved, I suppose. They were somewhat contemporaneous, so I looked to see if either commented on the other. Doesn't look like it, which is surprising, given how much criticism Poe did.
