Description: Essays and poems explore the contemporary relevance of Emerson's work and thought.
Review Quotes:
"Like a series of gateways, these essays and poems seek the conditions of possibility for a new Emerson, one who provokes and witnesses a world as radically uncertain, displaced, and mercurial as our own, and as riddled with inescapable yet insoluble questions about teaching and ignorance, doubt and faith, reason, beauty, and the fate of nature. If each age must write its own Emerson, then this collection offers all of us the place to start." -- Laura Dassow Walls, author of Emerson's Life in Science: The Culture of Truth
