Abstract
- An essay is presented on the role and representation of poets and poetry. It explores qualities of being a poet, including a sayer, being sovereign, and someone who can stand among partial men for the complete man. It also discusses the lack of poets in the U.S., the metre-making argument on poetry, and the inwardness and mystery of being a poet.
