Excerpt from For the King: And Other Poems
To gain breath for a clinch, that we knew Was for life or for death.
Then Adino, the Eznite, said hoarsely, Still catching his breath Eleazar and Shammah, my comrades, The time is but short, Still a word I must say. It is like We shall not all return.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book of poetry focuses on questions of conscience and the psychological toll of war. This American Civil War era text is more than just a reflection on war, it is a refined dissection of humanity. As reflective as it is powerful, this book has enduring relevance and can be contextualized within the wealth of American Civil War literature and other works discussing the destructive power of war. Thematically, this book delves into true heroism versus jingoism, the strength and value of solitude, and the importance of purpose. It concludes by arguing the most important question of war is not its legality but its morality.
