"Poems (1786), Volume I." by Helen Maria Williams, is a collection that dives into the depths of human emotion and the beauty of the natural world through 18th-century poetry. The poems express feelings about different types of love, as well as the human experience, mirroring the style of the Romantic period. Williams establishes a thoughtful mood right from the start, showing her thankful heart to all of those who lifted her, whilst humbly shining light on earlier obstacles she overcame to share her wonderful poems with the world. Opening with an emotional story of a daughter and her father, the poems touch on war, love, loss, and the importance of being sensitive towards the world and those around you. Love, in its simplest form takes center stage alongside scenes painted with natural imagery in efforts to call on feelings deep inside the reader's heart.
