description: Jesuit priest Gerard Manley Hopkins created verse that combined his awareness of material sensuousness with the asceticism of religious devotion. His collected poems, published posthumously in 1918, exercised a profound influence on modern poetry. This volume features all of his mature work, including "The Wreck of the Deutschland," "God's Grandeur," and "Hurrahing in Harvest."
