This 1872 installment in Holmess popular Breakfast Table series is a fluent, gossipy exchange among the poet of the title and his breakfast companionswith the lion's share of conversation belonging to the poet, who delivers his somewhat eccentric and fitfully amusing opinions of books, people, and habits of thought. Written fifteen years after the start of the series, The Poet takes a comparatively calm and nostalgic tone.
