Description
"The digital edition of all books may be viewed on our website before purchase. Sonnets to Sidney Lanier, and Other Lyrics by Clifford Anderson Lanier, offers the reader a magical compilation of some of Lanier's finest poetry. In this exciting collection, Lanier's enchanting prose leaps from the page and deep into the reader's subconscious, exploring only the most intangible subjects and flirting with shades of meaning and description so intricate that the reader is left breathless in anticipation. Covering all of life's most important moments, Lanier delves into the heart of these dramatic subjects; tackling them with such grace and slight, that he transports the reader into the most intimate moments of his life with careless ease.
Organized by structure, the book highlights prose first, then sonnets and other lyrical formats. Although some of the poems have benign titles such as "Five O'clock Tea" and "Forest Elixirs", don't be fooled; even these seemingly innocent poems explore the creativity and passion of this author to his absolute depths. While at times light-hearted, Lanier also has a darker side to his work and explores deeply into the human experience in his poems: "Love's Reserve," "Death in Life," and "To a Poet Dying Young." His interest in historic individuals, primarily writers themselves, comes to center stage in his poems entitled "Keats and Fanny B.," and "Edgar Allen Poe."
Sonnets to Sidney Lanier, and Other Lyrics is a timeless work, perfect for anyone interested in poetry, literature, or the art of writing. Lanier's unmatched ability to perfect the sonnet is on grand display in this volume of his artful poetry, not to mention his skillful maneuvering and resonant lyricism on display in all of his work. This book is a must-read for both fans of Lanier's work and fans of literature that explores the human condition - in love, in life, and in death.
