About this book

Todd Anderson and his friends at Welton Academy experience a shift in their lives when their new English professor, John Keating, encourages them to make their lives extraordinary. Inspired by Keating's teaching, the boys revive the Dead Poets Society, a secret club where they can pursue their passions free from school and parental constraints. Through exposure to the poetry of Byron, Shelley, and Keats, they come to appreciate language and the value of seizing each moment. However, the members of the club soon discover that their newfound freedom carries serious risks. As authorities work to suppress the group and its message of individuality, the boys must confront whether the club and the independence it represents can endure the mounting pressure against them.
