Christina Rossetti was a renowned Victorian poet, celebrated for her emotive verse. Known for exploring themes of love, devotion and gender, several of her collections were released during her lifetime, with more material being published posthumously. Her works are frequently included in university curriculums and have attracted a wide body of scholarship.  Pelé Cox is a poet, performance artist and film maker.
