Sweet Bells Jangled

J Yaeger Jones & J.E. Vallier (Eds.)

Laura Redden Searing (1840-1923) defied critics of the time by establishing herself as a successful American deaf poet. She began writing verse at her school for the deaf in 1858, and under a pseudonym, found national prominence by her patriotic Civil War poems. Readers can now enjoy her work again in this volume which features more than 70 of her finest poems. Paperback 224 pages 2003
