From Publishers Weekly
"Verse this may be, but it is at the same time a historical novel if not a fictional biography," remarked PW about this account of Civil War veteran, poet and musician Sidney Lanier . "As a marriage of poetry and fiction, this highly readable narrative combines the best of both forms into an intensely moving history . . . an epic achievement."

From Library Journal
A long sequence of poems based on the life of a largely forgotten 19th-century Southern poet seems at first an academic, if not pedantic, exercise; but Hudgins's portrayal of Sidney Lanier vibrates with an emotional and intellectual vitality its subject would envy. On the framework of external eventsLanier's Civil War experiences, marriage, fatherhood, illnessHudgins constructs a philosophical narrative, the inner struggle of one mind to make sense of the "strange, impersonal violences/that nature gives us." Free of the sentimentality and archaisms too often present in Lanier's own poems, these deft tetrameter lines may well outlast the ones that inspired them.Fred Muratori, Cornell University Lib.

Reader Reviews
When I was reading this volume, I drove to Sunday Mass early and sat for a few minutes in the car. I finished this book in the parking lot and never went to Mass. Normally, I would feel obliged to bring deliberating skipping Mass to confession. This time, I shall not. I immediately phoned my local bookseller and he obtained for me a signed first edition which I handed to my wife and told her it is all I want for my birthday in March. I then got on line and ordered five additional paperback copies to give to my friends. I read the book three times in ten days. I'm not like this, normally. This is a brilliantly conceived, flawlessly executed and deeply moving book. It is now part of me.
