The Women’s Review of Books, published by Wellesley College, had this to say about Sweet Bells Jangled: Laura Redden Searing, A Deaf Poet Restored: “Searing (1839 - 1903), who became deaf as a result of illness at age 13, wrote journalism and poetry under the pen name of Howard Glyndon. A sympathetic biography and brief analysis of Searing’s writing introduce this collection of her poems.” Edited by Judy Yaeger Jones and Jane E. Vallier, Sweet Bells Jangled features more than 70 poems by Civil War poet Laura Redden Searing. At first writing under the pseudonym Howard Glyndon, this young deaf poet exploded onto the public scene with her patriotic poems. But her poetry was more than that, exploring every aspect of life during her time. Read an excerpt from this “epic poem” and order Sweet Bells Jangled, the fourth volume in the Gallaudet Classics in Deaf Studies series. Just visiting?
