Modern poems about the historic conflict,told in traditional verse forms. Heroes, cowards--men of the North and South who bore the battle, and the women whose love and labor sustained them.
I believe that these verses represent a unique contribution to the vast amount of Civil War literature. They are a celebration of valor, not a dull recitation of battle histories, nor yet a connected narrative, but a series of vignettes from which the reader may choose his favorite subjects or personalities, enjoying them in the comfort of his home.
The first book, "Blue and Gray Ballads", published in June 2006, is available on the Internet, through www.Amazon.com, also by the publisher, www.marinermedia.com, finally by the author at this website. |
