The Poet's Delay A Collection of Poetry

Thoreau is best known for Walden, but years prior to its publication, he was busy at work as a poet. Thoreau considered himself not a maker of poetic verses, but a man of poetic mind. His subject matter--integrity--was what mattered most in his life. Illustrated with magnificent watercolors by Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent, and other masterworks that depict the beauty of nature to equal Thoreau's verse. 55 color illustrations.
