Poems of Henry Timrod; with Memoir

A lyrical portrait of a Southern voice emerges from the poems of a mid‑nineteenth‑century writer whose words echo the hopes, grief, and fierce pride of his era. Drawing on the turbulence of a nation divided, he blends personal feeling with a broader sense of patriotism, offering verses that feel both intimate and resonant across the ages.

Listeners will find a range that moves from tender nature sketches to stirring wartime odes, each marked by a clear, musical rhythm and a keen moral insight. The accompanying memoir situates the poet within his Charleston roots and the larger currents of American letters, giving context to his evolving style without spilling the later chapters of his life. Together, the poems and biography invite a reflective listening experience, allowing the poet’s “native, impassioned impulse” to unfold like a lark’s morning song.
