Summary "Select Poems of Sidney Lanier" by Sidney Lanier is a collection of poetry reflective of the late 19th century. This edited volume showcases Lanier's lyrical and often nature-inspired works, aiming to introduce his poetry to a broader audience, particularly students. The anthology not only celebrates the beauty and themes present in Lanier's poetry but also provides insight into the life and struggles of the poet himself, allowing readers to appreciate the depth of his artistic vision. At the start of this collection, the introduction outlines the purpose of the anthology while offering a brief sketch of Sidney Lanier’s life. It highlights his journey from a musically inclined youth to a soldier during the Civil War, and eventually to a poet and lecturer despite his ongoing battles with health issues. The opening chapters emphasize Lanier's profound connection to nature and music, setting the stage for understanding how these influences permeate his poetry, as seen in the selections that capture both the splendors and challenges of life. The editor, Morgan Callaway, aims to present Lanier as a significant figure in American poetry, making a case for his enduring value and relevance. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
