An entire book of David Barker's poems is online at the University of Michigan Digital Library. Included were an 11 page biography and other materials, edited posthumously by his brother Lewis. The link here is to an edited version, which contains everything except the poems: the biography, topical index (listed as the table of contents), and a true table of contents, compiled by the transcriber and added on to the end. The Masonic poems are on David's MPoets page, which also has a link to the original photocopied version and uncorrected OCR rendering of the text from the UM Library.

One of our supporters offered us a share of his labor of love, a complete scanned version of the 1895 edition of Robert Morris' 1884 book, The Poetry of Freemasonry. All 420+some pages. Our many thanks go to
for this work. We have integrated all the poems in this volume with our own site, but a few of them haven't been formatted yet into proper HTML. You can access the text of it as one huge HTML file by clicking Morris' Poetry, but this does not include any of the pictures, and the OCR renderings have not been corrected. Thanks to some cooperation with Hugh Young of "One More Time, Please", a Masonic ezine at http://www.linshaw.ca/omtp/, this book is also available, with pictures, on CD or in PDF format.

The Feast of Life was a memorial site set up for a departed Brother and poet, Robert Pinkerton, by his daughter and son-in-law. The entire site has been reconstructed here, although only the Masonic and a few inspirational poems are included in our general index here. All poems on that site are by Brother Pinkerton.
