The Poems of Sidney Lanier

by Sidney Lanier from 1884

About

Lanier was a Confederate veteran, flautist, and literary theorist who brought musical theory explicitly to bear on verse construction — arguing that poetry's meter was a form of musical time. His best poems — 'The Marshes of Glynn,' 'The Symphony' — have an unusual sonic density that his prosody explains and his instruments (literary and literal) shaped. He died of tuberculosis at thirty-nine, and his work has the elegiac quality of someone writing against death. As reading text, the rich sound-textures of his verse reward careful performance.
