After being completely blown away by The Picture of Dorian Gray, I had high expectations for this book and it did not disappoint. I found Wilde’s writing more compelling than ever and his poetry as fascinating as his novel. In his poems he evokes art and mythology, romance and heartbreak, and surprisingly political issues. I must say that even if I loved Wilde’s more traditional poems, what really made the difference in this collection was the engaged pieces : “Ave Imperiatrix “( a critic of British imperialism) and the heartbreaking “Ballad of Reading Gaol” that describes his imprisonment. With his melancholic boldness, Wilde remains a timeless genius that I can definitely call, after reading his poetry, one of my favorite authors.

Wilde’s writing is pretentious and honestly bored me after a while. The themes and structures are repetitive.
