The City Of The Plague, And Other Poems

By John Wilson

Book Overview

In the shadowed streets of early 1800s Britain, poetry becomes a mirror for the soul. The City Of The Plague, And Other Poems by John Wilson invites readers into a world where urban life and mortality entwine, rendered in haunting, romantic verse. Each poem pulses with the anxieties and hopes of a plague era setting, offering both intimate narrative and sweeping reflection on the human condition.
