Written during the Civil War era, the poems offer a unique perspective on the conflict and its aftermath.

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."

'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
