Twenty-four important works, focusing on Wilde's poetic legacy, offer important clues to themes and subjects that preoccupied this gifted writer in other works. Includes The Ballad of Reading Gaol, a powerful indictment of the degradation and inhumanity of prison life; "The Sphinx," "The Grave of Keats," "The Harlot's House," and 20 others.

“...And in that joy forgot my tortured past.”
Vita Nuova by Oscar Wilde is my favorite poem. It tells of a loneliness that seems neverending in a world where it seems fruitless to try. That is, until the last line - the author has found a love at last, and it erases all the pain and loneliness that came before it.
