The idea
Christina Rossetti, Dante Gabriel's sister, an unofficial Pre-Raphaelite and a devout believer, wrote devotional and romantic poems, including "Remember" and the carol "In the Bleak Midwinter," and poems for children. The anchor notes her metrical mastery and painterly detail.
In practice
Devotion, precision, music.
Where people slip
Her faith shapes most of her poems.
