Nocturnal Creativity:the Insomnia Poems of John Keats and Robert Frost Mu'ath Al-azzam

This book examines the insomnia poems of John Keats and Robert Frost, namely Keats?s ?The Odes? and Frost?s ?Five Nocturnes? and his famous poem, ?Acquainted with the Night.? The book argues that these poets confess their pain and various kinds of suffering resulting from social and psychological problems in their insomnia poems. Using the psychological and biographical-textual approach, the book explores the characteristics of Keats's and Frost's insomnia poems and how their insomnia poetry distinguishes itself in many ways from the rest of their poetry. The book concludes that Frost and Keats are alike in many ways since they express similar experiences in their insomnia poetry.
