Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of poems by a Southern writer born in Alabama in the late 19th century. Though it is not clear to which poetic movement the author belonged, his work contains themes common to many rural poets of the time, many of whom were writing in the wake of the American Civil War. Many of the poems explore the beauty of the natural world, some focus on the changing seasons, while others explore human themes such as love, loss and longing, often within the context of failed or unfulfilled relationships. A handful of the poems meditate on mortality or were written in memoriam. One of the central themes of this collection, however, is a nostalgia for a rural and agrarian past. The poems are full of vivid descriptions of the flora and fauna of the author's native state. This nostalgia may be interpreted as a longing for an imagined idyll or a lament for the passing of a way of life. Despite the author's often mournful tone, it is clear that he has a deep and abiding love for his homeland and the people who live there. This book is a valuable addition to the canon of Southern literature and will be of interest to readers who enjoy nature poetry, regional poetry, and poems about the human condition.
