The title poem in Phantasmagoria and Other Poems is known as Carroll's longest piece of poetry, and has been hailed as a fan favorite. With wit and decorated lyricism, Carroll replies to his concern. At the height of Carroll's use of satire and humor, A Valentine is dedicated to a friend that was concerned that Carroll had not been sad enough when he was away. With precise diction, A Game of Fives takes the form of a nursery rhyme as the poem follows five girls as they age, mapping their changing relationship and value to society. In Echoes, a young girl discloses her encounter with a ghost. Among this collection is A Sea Dirge, in which the speaker, equipped with evocative figurative language, explains their contempt for the sea. Featuring sixteen of Lewis Carroll's poems, Phantasmagoria and Other Poems has something to appeal to everyone. With satire, adventure, and imagination, Phantasmagoria and Other Poems explores subjects such as the supernatural, love, friendship, and nature.
