Voices from History: Where Poetry and History Collide is a study of history through poetry. S. Thomas Summers provides a tour of the battlefields and camps of the Civil War through the eyes of Confederate soldier Hercules McGraw (via his book Private Hercules McGraw: Poems of the American Civil War), and David Vincenti offers a view of the life of Galileo Galilei that will surprise many who think they already know the famous astronomer. Through their compelling verse and discussion of the times about which their poems speak, Summers and Vincenti will entertain fans of poetry and fans of history alike.
Thus far the program has been very successful.

Hello, Prof. Summers!
I am on the Board at the Vineland Historical Society and want you to know that I was finally able to get your information posted on our new website. I took the liberty of also posting your book and a link to this site… a la internet!
Hope you are pleased. Sorry for the dealy. I’d like for you to possibly add our link to our image or address here under your upcoming readings.
See you in April!
