Heart of New England-1920

Heart of New England by Abbie Farwell Brown is a poetic exploration of the spirit, history, and landscape of New England. The collection reflects a deep love for the region’s rugged coastlines, its history of early settlers, and the resilient character of its people. Through vivid imagery and a reverence for both the natural and cultural heritage of New England, Brown contrasts the allure of distant lands with the enduring charm and strength of her home. Her poems often evoke the hardships faced by early settlers, the enduring ties to the Old World, and the unique identity forged in the New World. The collection includes themes of nostalgia, loyalty to heritage, and the beauty found in New England’s familiar landscapes—apple orchards, rocky shores, and small towns named after English counterparts. Brown’s work serves as both a tribute to the perseverance of New England’s early inhabitants and a celebration of the land they called home. Read more
