Reseña de Many by Poe, Dickinson, Nash, Key, and Other Baltimore Poets

Many by Poe, Dickinson, Nash, Key, and Other Baltimore Poets de Francis Scott Key, Emily Dickinson, Ogden Nash & Edgar Allan Poe Resumen del Libro

This volume contains selected works from several poets that are available in the public domain.  All the poets have some connection to the city of Baltimore, Maryland, which was the primary reason for thieeir inclusion.  The most famous of these poets are, of course, Edgar Allan Poe, who is, perhaps most famous for his macabre wrtings, but whose poetry is still valued today, Emily Dickinson, who is still studied in nearly all college English programs,  Francis Scott Key, who wrote the Star-Spangled Banner and was a well-known poet at the time, and Ogden Nash, whose poetry is often unfairly described as doggeral.  Much of their work is still influential.
 
The work of three other, lesser-known poets with a Baltimore connection are also included in this volume: Sidney Lanier, James Ryder Randall, and Lizette Woodworth Reese.
 
Randall is, perhaps, the best known of these three, having written the poem "Maryland My Maryland," which is now the official Maryland State Song.  This is jarring to the ears of today's listener, since the poem, and hence the song, glorify violence in the resistance of the Confederacy to the United States during the Civil War.
