You've arrived at Leddy Poem Home - featuring two classic Vermont poets; siblings whose poems and ballads were crafted in a lyrical style allowing for easy memorization and powerful recitation. George and Laura Leddy, Irish Americans, who wrote in an era when the Spoken Word was a popular form of entertainment. George's adventurous ballads were reflective of the wanderlust of his generation, leaving us a means to experience the deep human emotions felt by men driven to extremes. Laura's works show the role played by religious faith in dealing with untimely deaths brought by war and disease. Their poetry is a window to the past, to a time when simple survival depended on one's love of God, country, family, and friends.
