Where the sea meets the soul, Jean Ingelow sings. A lasting afterglow in verse. In this classic poetry collection, her voice moves with Victorian poise yet lands with immediate feeling: intimate, spacious, and keenly observed. Poems gathers Ingelow at her most various, balancing narrative ballad poems with a finely tuned lyric poetry anthology of shorter meditations. Expect nature and sea poems shaped by weather, shoreline, and distance; love and loss verse that speaks plainly without losing music; and devotional religious poems that turn doubt and consolation into steady cadence. The result is nineteenth century England verse that rewards a quick dip as readily as a slow, cover-to-cover read, with language clear enough for contemporary ears while retaining the period's richness. A notable presence in Victorian era British poetry, Ingelow belongs on shelves beside Christina Rossetti readers and Elizabeth Barrett Browning fans, and in classrooms seeking classic poetry for students who want story, song, and sincere emotion. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this edition is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint -- a collector's item and a cultural treasure, and a thoughtful poetry gift book for anyone who keeps returning to the enduring power of English verse.
