A compact collection of short lyrics and occasional longer pieces that pair devotional reflection with sentimental and patriotic themes. Poems move between nature scenes, seascapes, and seasonal detail to explore faith, hope, duty, and the consolations of memory. Language tends toward clear, hymnlike phrasing and moral admonition, with moments of celebratory exhortation and public commemoration interspersed among intimate domestic and pastoral sketches.
Thanks are due to The New York Observer, The Churchman, Zion's Herald, Christian Register, The Standard, Outing, Boston Transcript, Portland Transcript, The New England Home Magazine, and others, for permission to re-print poems of mine that have appeared in their columns.
