Description
Godey's Lady's Book was one of the most popular magazines in nineteenth century America, reaching every state and territory. Its poetry, authored by amateurs and professionals alike, allows us to share in the emotional and intellectual experiences of these Americans in a unique way.
This volume contains the twelve poems found in Godey's relating to the Civil War, both as it was occurring and in the years after. There were surprisingly few poems published about the Civil War in Godey's but those that can be found are sometimes hauntingly beautiful. This small volume adds to the extensive body of Civil War poetry already collected. I hope you enjoy.
The Godey’s Poetry series is made up of 18 volumes based on a variety of themes. In addition to this volume, you might be interested in:
Awakening: Fifteen poems of Spring and Summer
Retreat: Fourteen Autumn and Winter poems
Nightfall to Dawn: Twenty One poems

A final volume focuses on the poetry in Hale’s Boston-based Ladies’ Magazine. “Cherishing the Sacred Fire†presents 100 poems from the Ladies’ Magazine (1828-1836), about 45 of which are included in various collections above. This volume has in-depth Introduction that looks at Hale as an editor and her philosophies on poetry.
