'Poets' Summary
Abram Joseph Ryan's 'Poets' is a collection of poems that explores themes of faith, patriotism, and the human condition. Written during the Civil War era, the poems offer a unique perspective on the conflict and its aftermath. Ryan's writing is characterized by its lyrical beauty, emotional depth, and strong sense of spirituality. The poems in 'Poets' are divided into five sections: "The Conquered Banner," "The Sword of Robert Lee," "The Lost Cause," "The New South," and "The Song of the South." Each section contains poems that reflect Ryan's experiences as a priest and chaplain during the war.

He celebrates the courage of the soldiers who fought in the war, the strength of the human spirit, and the power of faith to heal wounds. 'Poets' is a powerful and moving collection of poems that offers a unique perspective on one of the most tumultuous periods in American history.Book Details
