Farewells
'Farewells' Summary
“Farewells” is a collection of poems written by Abram Joseph Ryan, a Catholic priest and renowned poet, during the American Civil War. His works, deeply rooted in the Southern experience, reflect the pain of war and the deep sense of loss felt by the Confederate people. Many of his poems are elegies, mourning the fallen soldiers and expressing the anguish of families separated by conflict. A central theme throughout the collection is the unwavering faith that sustained the South during this tumultuous period. Ryan's poetry also captures the beauty of the Southern landscape and the resilience of its people in the face of immense suffering. While “Farewells” is undoubtedly influenced by Ryan's strong Confederate sympathies, it also explores universal themes of love, grief, and the enduring human spirit. Through his deeply moving verse, Ryan provides a powerful glimpse into the heart of the American South during a pivotal chapter in its history.Book Details
