Stephen Vincent Benet&#8217;s John Brown&#8217;s Body is one of the finest books of prose poetry in American literature. It well-deservedly won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1929. It has always had a special place in the hearts of most Civil War students, and [...]]]></description>

Last year I had a most abysmal job. The only joy in it was the location, nearby to Centennial Park in Nashville, Tn.
Nashville was surrendered without a shot to the Union after Forts Henry and Donelson fell to US Grant in early 1862. The Federals immediately began to dig [...]]]></description>

Introduction by Daniel Mallock
A great poem ought to be huge - grand in scope, but not necessarily excessive in length. Great poetry should tell massive stories with multiple layers concisely and artfully.
