Gerard Manley Hopkins was an English Jesuit poet, known for his innovative approach to meter and the intensity of his poetic language. His work, marked by profound spirituality and keen observation of nature, was only widely published after his death but influenced generations of modern poets. He is celebrated for his unique use of 'sprung rhythm' and his ability to capture the vitality and beauty of the natural and spiritual world.
