The Poet Essay by Ralph Waldo Emerson

LearnOutLoud.com is pleased to present Volume 2 of The Selected Essays of Ralph Waldo Emerson. With this collection we present essays from Emerson's mid-career, an era where he had just finished a long trip to Europe and was settling into a career as a lecturer and public figure. Many of the essays here grew out of his lectures and thus they capture in large part a writer at the height of his intellect.

The Poet is an essay by Ralph Waldo Emerson from the book Essays: Second Series which was published in 1844 and is now in the public domain.
