Kathrina—A Poem
Produced by Al Haines
"Kathrina—A Poem" by J. G. Holland is a narrative poem written in the late 19th century. This work explores themes of love, loss, and the complexities of human relationships through the lens of the main character, Paul, who reflects on his childhood, his relationship with his mother, and his aspirations for the future. The poem is structured in various parts, with each section delving into different stages of life—childhood, love, labor, and eventually, the culmination of life experiences. The opening portion introduces readers to Paul’s memories of his childhood and the profound impact of his mother on his life. He reminisces about their tranquil life in Connecticut, touched by both beauty and sorrow, as he reveals the secret burdens they bore regarding his father's tragic death. As Paul navigates the early complexities of his existence, we witness his inner turmoil and the development of his character shaped by love and loss. The narrative sets a contemplative tone, reflecting on how these early experiences inform his journey into manhood, where he seeks redemption and purpose through artistic expression.
