Summary "The New-York Book of Poetry" by Charles Fenno Hoffman is a collection of poetry written in the early 19th century. This anthology showcases the works of various poets native to the State of New-York, aiming to preserve and celebrate their contributions which previously circulated only in newspapers and periodicals. The collection touches upon themes of nature, love, and personal reflection, encapsulating a period rich in American literary development. The opening of this anthology introduces its purpose and the motivations behind its compilation. The publisher expresses his desire to unite scattered pieces of poetry, ensuring they find a place among the literary treasures of the time. We are introduced to a list of contributors, and a few selected poems that reflect diverse themes—ranging from the contemplative "Thoughts of a Student," which explores the joys and burdens of youthful introspection, to the evocative "The Settler," depicting the life and struggles of pioneers. The pieces present a vivid tapestry of both personal and communal experiences, reflecting the essence of early 19th-century American life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
