Paperback. Condición: New. 1st Edition. Large, new trade paperback. Title continues: "Matthew Willis 1799-1883, Iowa County, Wisconsin, USA." Synopsis: Poems Related to Social and Political Issues, Nature, Morality, Humor, Love, and Death, edited by the great-great-granddaughter of the poet. While the views of the events of the time portrayed herein are strictly those of the poet, they reflect what may have been a typical layperson¿s perspective of the events he observed. As a Quaker, he stoutly maintains his values and beliefs, including hatred of slavery and war, passionate reverence for the interpretations of the Bible common during his lifetime, disdain for users of alcohol for purposes of intoxication, and love of nature¿s gifts in all their magnificent forms. The editor is convinced that the poet would, were he living among us today, share her sincere hopes that the works contained herein will inspire, illuminate, and entertain historians and lovers of literature who happen upon them.
