Jones Very

Sobre el Autor

Jones Very was an American poet, essayist, and philosopher, known for his deeply spiritual and transcendental writings. Born in Salem, Massachusetts, he became a notable figure in the Transcendentalist movement, drawing inspiration from the works of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. Very's poetry often delves into themes of nature, self-exploration, and the divine, reflecting his profound introspection and connection to the world around him.

Despite his considerable talent, Very's work did not achieve widespread recognition during his lifetime, and he struggled with mental health issues that affected his literary career. His collection of poems, published in 1883 with an introductory memoir by W. P. Andrews, showcases his unique voice and philosophical depth. Later, his work gained more appreciation, particularly among scholars of American literature, who recognized his contributions to the genre and his influence on subsequent poets.
