This volume brings together the complete original poems of the great American writer, Ralph Waldo Emerson. Emerson went into the woods for inspiration, spending hours walking and contemplating amidst this most beloved of places. All of nature - the rhythms, the beauty, the mystery, the deep complexity and stark simplicity, the ever-changing and the endlessly enduring - pervades his poetry. To spend time with Emerson is to be invigorated, to be refreshed, to achieve clarity of mind, to think well. Here, between these pages, a treasure-trove of luminous beauties awaits the reader.
