World Poetry Day – Elizabeth Barret Browning
Elizabeth Barret Browning is my favorite poet. If you would like to learn more about her, I suggest you read her book, Sonnets of the Portuguese. In this book, there are many other sonnets that will capture the essence of the love story between her, and her famous poet husband, Robert Browning. You will also learn more about the interesting way they met; first through written correspondence, then through personal visits in her home, where she was described as “somewhat of an invalid.” With many difficulties to her health, yet she and Robert Browning fell in love. Then she went on to write both marvelous and intimate work, supporting and encouraging each other in their life’s time together.
