Watie's Surrender and Other Civil War Narratives (Hardcover)

This is Brian Walters third collection of poetry. As with his previous collections, Watie's Surrender and Other Civil War Narratives has something for everyone. Walters ranges effortlessly from brutal epic narrative poetry to gentle whimsical verse. His narrative poetry is as easy to read as the finest prose, pulling you in so completely that you often forget that you are reading poetry and not a novel. His verse celebrates life and all that comes along with it. Sometimes touching, sometimes stirring, always engaging, Walters' poetry will remain with you long after you close the pages of the book. This collection tracks the American Civil War showing the brutality, senselessness, bravery, and courage that shook America to it's foundations and forever changed us. Born into a family that treated books like gold, Brian Walters, when not engaged in sports of all kinds, avidly read his father's collections of old stories about the wild west and American history in general. After graduating from George Mason University, he lived in Denmark for ten years, where he was much influenced by the Scandinavian climate and Old Norse literature. A number of his poems and one literary essay have been published in various magazines, this is his third collection. He currently resides in Blacksburg, Virginia with his wife and two children.
