Beskrivelse
"Pride dates the fall of full-fledged heroes" says Dennis Daly in his new chapbook about the adventures and exploits of Major Robert Rogers, who fought for the British against the French during the French and Indian War. Rogers is known for his small, mobile force of rangers, who used the forest as cover to attack their enemies. Tried for treason by the English, hated by the French, and arrested as a spy by George Washington, Rogers is an intriguing character brought to life by Daly. In Alcaics for Major Robert Rogers, Daly employs the Greek poetic form of alcaic meter, used by poets like Horace and Tennyson. As a scholar, narrator, and poet, Daly challenges his readers and rewards them with delight and wisdom. - Ed Meek, author of High Tide and Luck
