  Among all female poets of the English-speaking world in the 19th century, none was held in higher critical esteem or was more admired for the independence and courage of her views than Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
  
  The many journals which reported Browning's untimely death all spoke of her as the greatest woman poet in English literature. The highly respected Edinburgh Review expressed the prevailing view when it said that she had no equal in the literary history of any country: "Such a combination of the finest genius and the choicest results of cultivation and wide-ranging studies has never been seen before in any woman", and the esteem in which she is held has never dimmed with her poetry still widely studied and admired today. Collected here are 16 of her most beautiful, haunting, and renowned poems.

  In The Countess Cathleen, famine devastates Ireland, and a pair of mysterious merchants begin buying souls from starving peasants in exchange for food and gold. When Countess Cathleen discovers the growing spiritual crisis among her people, she tries to offer aid—but quickly realizes her wealth alone isn’t enough to stop their grief. In a final, deliberate act, she sells her own soul to the merchants, hoping to ransom the villagers’ salvation with her sacrifice. Drawing from Irish legend to explore moral choice, quiet heroism, and the uneasy space between good intentions and divine judgment, this debut play of W.B. Yeats would set him apart from other contemporary writers of his time and solidify the foundation for his works to come.

  In New York City's Washington Square Park,  
  An old familiar war is being waged between those in power,  
  and those who refuse to conform. 
    
  Blue Jay Walker has been a street busker all his life. Traveling across countries he earns his keep by writing poems for passers-by on his worn typewriter. 
    
  In the summer of 2023 when he arrived at one of his favourite haunts for hawking poems, he was dismayed to discover the authorities had banned all artists from making their living in the park. 
    
  However the artists were not giving up their home without a fight. Inspired by their tenacity, Walker joined the fray. Sticking a proverbial flag in the ground at the center of the park he began writing what would quickly become The Longest Physical Poem Of The 21st Century. 
    
  The 240 foot scroll is a distillation of all the wandering truth he has gained along his travels, twisted through the spiraling narrative of the Vagrants and Bards who have taught him not only how to make art, but how to see the world in a different light.
