LOVE POEMS by Christina Rossetti
Born in 1572 in London England, John Donne was an English Jacobean poet of exceptional skill, whose poetry was known for its vibrancy of language and inventiveness of metaphor. While Donne was well educated and his poetic talents considerable he struggled for much of his life to provide for his family. Having published only two volumes during his lifetime, he was not a professional poet. Despite this his legacy on the world of poetry is a significant one. In this volume you will find a representative selection of his love-poetry, a type of poetry popular in Donne's time. In total seventy-two passionate and erotic poems comprise this volume of The Love Poems of John Donne.
