Though i graduated from his high school, i had no knowledge of his poetry and his fame in the late 1800's. He gave readings and lectures throughout New England and the upper Midwest. There is a wonderful statue of him in Father Ryan Park, Mobile, AL. I visited it several years ago and shared with some men sitting under shade trees who Fr. Ryan was and the fact that he had been pastor of a church not far from the park.

A real treasure! The poet Priest of the Confederacy! Most of the poems are religious in nature, but there are a handful of patriotic poems lauding our conquered nation, it’s noble cause, and it’s true heroes. This is where the spirit of a people can be found—in their poetry, songs, literature, & art. These come first. The apologetics & efforts to preserve the signs, symbols, markers, and memories of a people mean nothing without the cultural underpinning...

I was most moved by Father Ryan's poems about death, loss, and the faith. I found many of the other poems to be trite and uninteresting, but I'm not a very astute critic, so others may find them interesting.
