About this book
Dreams and enchanted woodland draw Madison Julius Cawein's narrative and lyric verse into the world of Arthur's court. The opening poem pictures Merlin surrounded by memories of legendary knights, then turns to Accolon and Morgane as they speak about love and troubling visions. Flowers, moving water and the changing seasons fill their conversation with images of beauty and loss. Rhyming lines carry both the speakers' declarations and their uncertainty.
Elsewhere, a narrator recalls Rudolf, a young Franconian seeking a place among the Duke of Brunswick's foresters. His attachment to Ilsabe, the chief huntsman's daughter, brings another story of love into a forest setting. The contents also name shorter poems about late October, an anemone and a brush sparrow. Readers interested in American poetry can find here an approach that joins close attention to plants and birds with old legends, dream scenes and human longing.
