Lanier, a Georgia flautist, Confederate soldier and poet, wrote verse that tries to sound like music. This selection, edited by Morgan Callaway of the University of Texas, gathers his lyrics and ballads with an introduction, notes printed beside the poems, and a bibliography.
A good entry to the poet of ‘The Marshes of Glynn’ and ‘Song of the Chattahoochee’ for lovers of sound in verse. Download the free EPUB.
