Lewis Carroll wrote poetry throughout his career, ranging from nonsense verse to more serious lyrical works. Phantasmagoria and Other Poems (1869) was his first poetry collection, featuring the title piece about a ghost who haunts a man’s home and explains the bureaucratic rules governing haunting.
Later collections gathered both his lighter and more melancholy verse. Three Sunsets and Other Poems was published posthumously in 1899. The Rectory Umbrella and Mischmasch (1932) collected juvenilia from Carroll’s family magazines, written when he was a teenager.
