By Meredith Nicholson

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.
