Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Prophet, and Other Poems
Isaac Rieman Baxley · 1888
50/100
👎 Skip It
This is a genuine 19th-century poetry collection that happens to share its title with the much more famous Gibran book, describing itself as visionary and forward-looking. It's a neat historical curiosity for poetry collectors, but it's essentially unreviewed and I couldn't verify enough of the actual verse to call it a must-read.
