"Poems" by Christina G. Rossetti is a collection of 1800s poetry that examines love, relationships, survival, and the spirit. Rossetti's poetic approach analyzes emotions, often sharing symbolic elements that provide unusual views into what it means to be human. Rossetti's dedication to her mother sets a personal, intimate tone right away. The re-publication of her work gets readers ready for a journey into her world. Early poems like "Goblin Market" show temptation and the ties between sisters, using strong images to compare innocence and dark subjects. Her powerful words and rhythms make readers think about love and who they are.
