SCOPE: Ralph Waldo Emerson considered himself a visionary poet more than a poet bound by the constraints of language and form. His poems helped to establish the connection between man and nature. His poetry was a reflection of his own philosophies about life. Nature, love, and religious myths were some of the subjects for his poems.
