Summary "Poems" by Christina G. Rossetti is a collection of poetry written in the late 19th century. The anthology features a range of themes, from the intricacies of love and human relationships to deep reflections on life, death, and spirituality. Rossetti's lyrical style explores emotional landscapes, often weaving in allegorical elements that offer unique insights into the human condition. The opening of the book introduces readers to the author’s dedication to her mother, emphasizing a personal and intimate connection to her work. We are immediately drawn into the world of Rossetti's poetry, as she acknowledges the re-publication of her work for an American audience. The initial poems presented include "Goblin Market," which depicts a tale involving temptation and sisterly bonds, and evoke rich imagery contrasting innocence with darker themes. As the opening portion unfolds, Rossetti’s evocative language and rhythmic verses immerse the reader in her reflections on love and identity, laying a strong foundation for the poetic journey ahead.
