The poems of Sidney Lanier continue to find an admiring audience
more than a century after his death. Though his poetry evokes both
the landscape and the romantic spirit of the Old South, his
concerns for the natural world, spirituality, and the character of
society offer universal appeal. This anthology includes Lanier's
best-known and most celebrated works--"Sunrise," "The Song of the
Chattahoochee," "A Song of Love," and "The Marshes of Glynn." These
and the other poems presented in the collection reveal Lanier's
interest in the welfare and preservation of nature and society and
his opposition to southern industrialization. The memorial by
William Hayes Ward and the afterword by John Hollander illumine
Lanier's ideas for a new generation, offering glimpses into
Lanier's life and introducing us to the soldier, lawyer, teacher,
lecturer, talented musician, and amazingly gifted writer who
captured the South's landscape and character through unforgettable
poetry.
