Rebel — Scott Ward

The word 'rebel' evokes a thousand images, both in classical and contemporary literature. Scott Ward's imaginative novel in verse describes many of those evocative images: the American Civil War; love between a black woman and a white man; sexual exploitation; family disfunction; violence in many forms. Unlike any book I know of, this novel plows rich ground across a virgin literary landscape. - Wayne Flynt, Distinguished University Professor Emeritus, Auburn UniversityScott Ward is the author of two previous books of poetry. He is a professor at Eckerd College and lives in St. Petersburg, Florida, with his wife Jana.
