Poems from the Moor

From the transcendent beauty of nature observed on the Yorkshire moors to fierce and forceful confrontations of mortality, Emily Bronte`s poems are powerful and passionate works that eloquently elaborate upon her sister Charlotte`s description of her as "a solitude-loving raven, no gentle dove". While only twenty-one of Emily Bronte`s poems were published in her lifetime, her poetic oeuvre is rich and varied, and not only includes visionary poems such as `No Coward Soul Is Mine` and `Remembrance`, but also features the poems that describe the imagined realm of Gondal and its inhabitants, which she created with her sister Anne.
