John Greenleaf Whittier: Selected Poems (American Poets Project)

John Greenleaf Whittier

Library of America, 2004

An American classic -Lines remain with me
I remember reading in school ' Snowbound' and ' Barefoot boy'( Barefoot boy with cheek of tan) and 'Barbara Freitchie (Shoot if you must this old grey head, but spare your country's flag, ' she said). These poems provided pictures of American life, pictures of a moral and somehow innocent world. That lines of these poems remain with me mean the poems live for me. Whittier is not a great poet ...

Cats, Dogs & Other Rabbits: The Extraordinary World of Harry Whittier Frees

1 review

Dewi Lewis Publishing, 2006

Amazing photographs
This is an extraordinary collections of photos. Frees did not harm or mistreat his subjects and insisted they were not drugged. His talent was remarkable and yet he died penniless and was buried in a pauper's grave. His intuition about when to snap his shutter and his mother's hand made costumes make this a delightful snapshot into the life of a reclusive artist who committed suicide at the age ...

It will most interesting to see the results of the new access by automobile that will be available. The ...

True Story
Great, romantic story. But. No. No one edits these. The last reviewer obviously doesn't understand that Amazon Shorts is a new program that authors are leading themselves. If you're interested in the authors and their romance novels, you will enjoy their story. If you want to support them and this program, you will not act like everyone's least-favorite English teacher. If you think you're a ...

A Must-Read For Today's Young Adults!

John Greenleaf Whittier

Belknap Press, 1975

One of my most inspiring reading experiences
John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892) was a bachelor, devout Quaker, anti-slavery activist, a leading 19th century American poet and a good man. From the time that I read "Snowbound" in high school he has been my favorite poet, based upon his writing and his character as a man. It is for these two qualities, plus the added feature of his place in 19th century literature and reform, that I ...

This was one of the most sweet and intense love stories I've ever read, and I've read hundreds of romance novels. The emotion between Blayne and Ben was so...REAL. Honestly I expected this to be a cheesy book, but besides the little bit of ...
