Select Poems of Sidney Lanier
1868
Select Poems of Sidney Lanier, first published in 1868, is an anthology that highlights the lyrical and nature-inspired poetry of American poet Sidney Lanier (1842-1881). Edited by Morgan Callaway, this collection aims to introduce Lanier's work to a wider audience, particularly students, while providing insights into his life as a musician, soldier, and poet. Notable poems include 'The Marshes of Glynn' and 'Sunrise,' which reflect Lanier's deep connection to nature and his innovative use of logaoedic dactyls, influenced by Anglo-Saxon poetry.
