Christala Rosinaas poetry reflects her deep affinity with the English Romantic poets, especially Shelley and Coleridge. In embracing the full spirit of their literary age with its sublime landscapes, anguished yearnings and vast imaginative power, Christalaas approach, like that of the Romantics, is beautiful and passionate; searching and insightful; sweeping and melodic. Through imagery bursting from its own synaesthetic richness, she frequently achieves a certain abeyondnessa of thought, dissolving divisive barriers and blurring illusory boundaries. Visionary and mystical, Christala weaves subtle tapestries from ethereal echoes and reflections, cast from the images of eternal truths and beauty around us. As we emerge from a century noted for its alienation and separation, she achieves something of a modern Romantic renaissance, particularly regarding the essentially Romantic preoccupation with the concept of aunity in diversity.a Christalaas words shimmer through veils of light and music and write their signature on soul, mind, and heart alike.
