James Freeman Clarke - Cana

LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of Cana by James Freeman Clarke, from The World's Best Poetry, edited by Bliss Carman. This was the Weekly Poetry project for November 14th, 2010.

Trivia: After hearing the song «John Brown's Body», Clarke suggested that Mrs. Julia Ward Howe write new lyrics; the result was «The Battle Hymn of the Republic». He published but few verses, but at heart was a poet. (summary by Wikipedia)
