The Trouble with Poets is an album by American singer/songwriter Peter Mulvey, released in 2000.

Writing for Allmusic, critic Evan Cator wrote of the album, "...for all his skill as a guitarist, Mulvey's musical compositions only fitfully match the brilliance of his lyrics.

Melody has never been his strongest suit, and he is somewhat limited as a singer.

But despite the inconsistencies, it doesn't take a poet to see poetry in The Trouble With Poets.
