What it is about
Poems of Nature (1895): the poetry, collected thirty years after his death.
Context and history
Thoreau thought of himself as a poet before a prose writer, and Emerson told him to give it up. He was half right: the poems do not stand beside Walden, but they explain how he learned to write the sentences that do.
Editorial context, not a citable source: unlike the passages of the work itself, these statements cannot be checked against the corpus.
