April War Ballad of Jim and Tennessee's Home Front
A narrative poem tracing Jim's Civil War march and return, the North battle cries, and the family that endures. It weaves April sweetness with war's johnny-on-the-spot drums, the home mill, beehives, and a neighborly act of giving to Chicago fire victims. The old man prays as Mary cares, while Jim vows aid to the hungry and homeless.
