Virginia: A Tragedy, and Other Poems

A lyrical journey awaits, beginning with heartfelt verses that celebrate love, nature, and quiet devotion. The poet’s early work moves from tender tributes to a beloved father to vivid sketches of places and moments—sea gulls over distant waters, the serenity of a cradle song, and the awe of Niagara’s roar. Each poem offers a snapshot of feeling, inviting listeners to pause and savor the rhythm of early twentieth‑century verse.

The collection then shifts to a dramatic tableau set in ancient Rome, where political intrigue and personal loyalty collide. In the opening scenes, citizens gather in the Forum, their murmurs swelling into a chorus of dissent against the ruling Decemvirs. Among them, a young woman named Virginia becomes the focal point of a looming tragedy, her fate intertwined with the ambitions of powerful men and the restless hopes of the plebeians. The play’s rich dialogue and vivid staging promise an immersive experience of honor, love, and the fragile balance of justice.
