Christopher Pearse Cranch’s collection of poems “Poems” was initially released in 1844. Cranch’s poetry which was first published in The Western Messenger is included in this collection. His poetry about Phoebus Apollo’s time as a shepherd is just one example of how frequently he explores the possibilities and constraints of art. Caricatures of Ralph Waldo Emerson and contributions to The Dial and The Harbinger are among the other works of Cranch. His poetry presents a distinctive viewpoint on philosophy, the arts, and human nature.
