Laura Redden Searing A Deaf Poet Restored
J. Yaeger Jones & J.E. Vallier, Eds. - Laura Redden Searing (1839-1923) defied critics of the time by establishing herself as a successful poet, a poet who was deaf. She began writing verse at the Missouri School for the Deaf in 1855, and under the pseudonym Howard Glyndon, soon found herself catapulted into national prominence by her patriotic Civil War poems. Despite her success, detractors decried her poetry simply because she was deaf, asking how she could know anything of rhyme, rhythm, or musical composition. Her return will be an event welcomed by poetry aficionados everywhere. (224 pgs, softcover, 6" x 9") |
