Lee Circle

The poems explore the enduring memories of the Civil War and its societal repercussions, delving into themes of loss and redemption. Notable pieces include reflections on significant historical events such as Lee's funeral, Lincoln's second inauguration, and the 1913 Gettysburg reunion, alongside poignant contemporary references like "Katrina Baby." Set against the backdrop of Lee Circle in New Orleans, which housed a Confederate monument until 2017, the collection invites readers to contemplate the complex legacy of history and memory.
