Walt Whitman, John Burroughs, and J.P. Irvine all worked as clerks in Washington, D.C., after the Civil War. But Irvine, a small-town poet from the prairies, was the one selected to address President Grant and 10,000 spectators. Those words were lost, along with Irvine's legacy. Until now. Beyond the Gray Leaf weaves biography and history with the rediscovered poems of this forgotten literary figure from 19th-century America. The Illinois poet excelled in his depictions of the Civil War, and the Chicago Tribune called Irvine's nature poems "nearly pure gold." No library descriptions found. |
