Goblin Market and Other Poems

The English poet Christina Rossetti (1830–1894) a significant and frequently quoted literary figure produced some of the most exquisite and sensuous poetry ever written in the English language. She lived in self-imposed isolation much like Emily Dickinson and wrote with a sensuality and passion that appeared to spring from the soul about God and lost love.Goblin Market is a chilling fairy tale in verse that was formerly classified as a children's poetry but now it is more appropriate for an adult audience due to its complex symbolism and themes of temptation sin and redemption. The Convent Threshold Up-hill Cousin Kate Winter: My Secret Maude Clare No Thank You John and After Death are a few of the other poems in this exceptional collection.
