sometimes I see where people underscore Christina by saying she was one of the most influential female writers. to me I believe she is one of the greatest poets ever born. with her use of alliteration and rhyme her work just flows so smoothly. there is nothing negative I can say about Christina Rossetti or the reader. the reader does a fabulous job and brings every word to life. it is plain to see that she herself loves the works of Christina Rossetti as much if not more than myself
