reviewed Emerson: Poems on May 28, 2017 Emerson: Poems
"Give me truths;
For I am weary of the surfaces."
Ralph Waldo Emerson was a writer, an essayist, a naturalist, an abolitionist, a preacher, a philosopher, and a poet. He was so many things, but above all else, he was a truth seeker. He delved into all aspects of humanity and sought to understand the workings of the universe, the human mind and the soul. Ultimately he wanted to determine how we can live better, more positive lives.
He led the nineteenth century nature-inspired Transcendentalist movement, a spiritual movement divorced of dogma and religion. He believed one could find God only in nature and in one self. He wrote about the Over Soul, the universal ONE force that connects us all, and how divinity is within. For these ideas, some called him a prophet, others an infidel. No doubt, he stirred things up and his ideas were controversial at the time.
This book of poetry is a gem because it shows us Emerson's more lyrical and intimate side. We know him for his essays and speeches, but few know he was a remarkable poet. This Everyman Pocket edition with its beautiful cover of trees is a nice reminder to turn to nature and the soul.
Included in this book of poetry is also an excerpt from his famous essay The Poet. "For all men live by truth, and stand in need of expression," he writes. "In love, in art, in avarice, in politics, in labor, in games, we study to utter our painful secret. The man is only half himself, the other half is his expression."
For those who love nature poetry I wholeheartedly recommend this book and edition.
