Pick two poets who seem to have nothing to do with each other — a Gothic American and a pastoral Englishman, say — and see where the catalogue actually joins them: overlapping years, shared ground, distinctive themes, and the poems that secretly rhyme.
A random pair who overlapped in time and whose poems already rhyme in the catalogue — a way into poets you may not have met.
Gothic on one side, pastoral gothic undertones on the other — two poets a listener might hear in the same weather without ever placing them in the same room.
Edgar Allan Poe and Charles KingsleyThey shared years on earth, but they are not each other’s nearest neighbours in the catalogue. That gap is the interesting part.
