I really enjoy Rossetti's style - her rhyme schemes tend towards asymmetry and even syncopation, and her riffs on and references to folklore and mythology are fascinating, especially when they delve into a sort of narrative progression - but I don't think I was prepared for how much of her work was really overtly aggressively Christian.

Whereas the poems that I did enjoy I loved there were some I didn’t enjoy because of the fact that I’m not particularly religious so the religious poems didn’t really work for me but if you are religious then you’ll probably love all the poems.

Christina Rossetti and Emily Dickinson, man.

After reading I had hard time abstaining myself from reading more from Rossetti and she kept her prose imposed through other works too... Her poetry mostly seems concentrated on death, pain, satire, lust, sisterhood and gothic even though I have mentioned them randomly you will find I'm bit right about it.
My personal favorites are
Remember
After death
Song
Better resurrection
Up hill

The only collection I enjoyed was "Goblin Market and Other Poems (1862)"
