A clever, kindly portrait of a famous living poet, interwoven with a
charming love story.
"Not since Henry Harland told us the story of the gentle Cardinal and
his snuffbox, have we had anything as idyllic as Meredith Nicholson's
'The Poet.'"--_New York Evening Sun._
"This delightful story, so filled with blended poetry and common sense,
reminds one, as he reaches instinctively for a parallel, of the rarely
delicate and beautiful ones told by Thomas Bailey Aldrich."--_Washington
Star._
"A rare performance in American literature. Everybody knows who the Poet
is, but if they want to know him as a kind of Good Samaritan in a
different way than they know him in his verses, they should read this
charming idyll."--_Boston Transcript._
