Excerpt Fells or flanks of the voel, a vein Of the gospel proffer, a pressure, a principle, Christ's gift. 5 I kiss my hand To the stars, lovely-asunder Starlight, wafting him out of it; and Glow, glory in thunder; Kiss my hand to the dappled-with-damson west Since, tho' he is under the world's splendour and wonder, His mystery must be instressed, stressed; For I greet him the days I meet him, and bless when I understand. 6 Not out of his bliss Springs the stress felt Nor first from heaven (and few know this) Swings the stroke dealt-- Stroke and a stress that stars and storms deliver, That guilt is hushed by, hearts are flushed by and melt-- But it rides time like riding a river (And here the faithful waver, the faithless fable and miss), 7 It dates from day Of his going in Galilee; Warm-laid grave of a womb-life grey; Manger, maiden's knee; The dense and the driven Passion, and frightful sweat

Many lines on my Kindle 3 have rectangular boxes containing questions marks prepended. So "The Wreck of the Deutschland" looks something like???????????????Thou mastering me
??????????God! giver of breath and bread;
?????World's strand, sway of the sea;
??????????Lord of living and dead;
???Thou hast bound bones and veins in me, fastened me flesh,

Over again I feel thy finger and find thee.
There are some poems where this doesn't happen at all, and others where it regularly occurs. I think the ?s represent spaces for formatting indentations. It would be nice if there were a way to either filter the ?s out or convert them to spaces. Given a relatively low price, and given that this seems to be a comprehensive collection of Hopkins' poetry, 3 stars seems a fair rating.

Poems of Gerard Manley Hopkins Gerard Manley Hopkins 9781540563958 Books Reviews
The poems by Hopkins are fantastic but this edition is utter crap.... The lay out is awful and most of the poems cannot be read normally.
DO NOT PURCHASE THIS EDITION stick with 'Poems of Gerard Manley Hopkins Now First Published'.
On my , I don't know how to get beyond the introduction and to the poems. I do next page after next page and just get introduction. Pressing the joy stick right does nothing. There is a brief table of contents at the beginning, but Early Poems and Poems are not selectable. Of course, I can go to a high-numbered location, but I have no sensible way to choose the number. In addition, since the introduction was formatted for the DX, the lines run over on the 2.
Of course if you know Hopkins, you can do a search on a word or two. The only word I knew to search for was "dappled". This led me to the poem I was looking for, and I enjoyed it and the next few poems. The poems fit on the page quite well.
On reconsideration, I wanted to change my rating from one to three stars, but wouldn't let me.
This is a truly great book -- but the edition is not properly formatted for the . There is no table of contents or links to individual poems. The line breaks in many poems are in the wrong location. Some of the greatest of his poems do not even have line breaks at all but are formatted as a single paragraph. Too bad, but I recommend looking for a better edition of this book.
This is one of the ugliest editions of any book I could imagine. It's laid out in bland, boring type. The paper and cover seem cheap, like it was made by the local print shop. Worst of all, the lay out of te poems is a disaster. Titles appear at the bottom of one page with the actual poem on the next. The last couple lines of a poem often dangle at the top of the next page - sometimes even requiring a turn of the page! - when there is plenty of open space all around, enough for the whole poem to sit in one place. It looks simple amateur. Like the format on Word isn't translate to the printers. Simple terrible. I'm returning my copy immediately.
If this were the only copy of Hopkins poems, it'd be better still not to get it, since you couldn't help but think his poems as ugly as their dressing.
The best of the best in modern English poetry.
Book is more than I expected in terms of content. More of a text book than a book of poetry, but the poems are in there, and that's what I wanted.
I purchased this as a gift for my dad, after finding out Hopkins is his favorite poet, and he absolutely loves this book.
