> [Dan] Simmons deserves some credit for popularization of John Keats
I can agree with your statement, with a big emphasis on the qualifer "some". As other comments have pointed out, John Keats is a major figure in Romantic poetry, well-known and well-loved in English literature.
Dan Simmons' novels may have introduced Keats to those who otherwise may not have read his works. As for me, they certainly renewed and re-kindled my appreciation, as well as seeing some of the poetry in a new and delightfully strange light.

I also appreciate that this link was posted by a user named "apollinaire". I think we in tech circles could always use more influence and inspiration from the arts.
