5.0 out of 5 stars A forgotten poet, March 28, 2007
This review is from: John Brown's Body - Acting Edition (Paperback)
I first read John Brown's Body, the book length poem chronicling the Civil War in high school in the forties. It was my first exposure to narrative poetry and it has been my favorite book since then. When I read twenty years later that it was also the favorite book of John F. Kennedy it reassured me that he would avoid war at all costs. It is an anti-war story, and the devastation of war, the profiles of the all too human generals and of Lincoln are an important footnote of history. The poetry is musical and sometimes stark. He is able to impart the real devastation of war on the lives of those affected by it. I would reccommend it to anyone who loves poetry and history. It is a truly American story of a war that should never have been fought.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not the poem, June 17, 2011
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: John Brown's Body - Acting Edition (Paperback)
I ordered the book with ISBN 0822205947 thinking I was ordering the epic poem by Stephen Benet. This book is NOT the poem, rather a play based on that poem.

I haven't read the play. It may be good, but I am irritated at being mislead into buying something other than what I thought I was buying.
