Summary "Atlanta Offering: Poems" by Frances Ellen Watkins Harper is a collection of poetry written in the late 19th century. The book captures the essence of life, love, nature, and social justice themes, reflecting the struggles and aspirations of African Americans during this period. Harper's poignant verses explore myriad topics, including the trials of motherhood, the quest for freedom, and the importance of community, all underlined by a spiritual context. The poems within this collection present a vivid tapestry of emotions and experiences. In "My Mother’s Kiss," Harper reminisces about the nurturing love of her mother, while "A Double Standard" confronts societal injustices faced by women and the hypocrisy surrounding morality. The poem "Our Hero" highlights the bravery found in unexpected places, and "The Martyr of Alabama" illustrates the tragic consequences of racial violence. Harper's work emphasizes a yearning for justice, freedom, and understanding, encapsulating the multifaceted aspects of human experience, particularly within the African American community.
