Lee Circle

Deeply instilled remembrances of the Civil War and society's aftermath, along with general references to notions of loss and redemption form the thematic focus of the poems in Lee Circle. Poems include "Still Photograph: Lee's Funeral," "Lincoln's Second Inauguration," "Gettysburg Reunion, 1913," and "Katrina Baby." Lee Circle is a central traffic circle in New Orleans, Louisiana; from 1884 to 2017 it displayed a monument to Confederate General Robert E. Lee.
