Abstract
The pastoral emphasis and New England setting of Jane Kenyon's poetry has invited comparisons to Robert Frost and Emily Dickinson. The uncluttered spareness of her work and her interrelated themes of faith, guilt, empathy, and pessimism also place her among that collection of people known as New England poets. Kenyon's own love of John Keats-and his haunted experiences of pain and beauty-also informs her work.
