Dante Gabriel Rossetti: Selected Poems and Translations   
Clive Wilmer, ed. (Carcanet, 1991)


Includes poems on several paintings by other painters, as well as his own 'Aspecta Medusa' (never realized) and 'Astarte Syriaca'. There is also 'Jenny' ("Lazy laughing languid Jenny, Fond of a kiss and fond of a guinea") the poem for which the artist felt he was being hounded during his final years.
   For a more detailed account of the 'Jenny' fraças, see Recollections of Rossetti.
