The Man with the Hoe and Other Poems

Edwin Markham was an American poet whose poems often drew attention to the laborers of the world and frequently expressed elements of faith. The Man with the Hoe, perhaps his best known poem, was written after seeing a painting of the same name by the French artist Millet, who also depicted working men and women in rural settings. Many of these poems were previously published in The Atlantic and other magazines.
