Thanks to Lloyd Flannigan for introducing me to Frost. ( ) The collected works of Robert Frost in one volume is great for poetry fanatics and collectors. For the casual reader, or someone merely curious about his poetry, however, a more condensed version of his best works will do. Some of the poems suck out to me, but the large majority were simply all right. Many of the poems were based on nature. As a person who only read some of Robert Frost's poetry back in high school, I never realized that he also did some plays and other works. I am most familiar with Two Roads Diverged in a Yellow Wood, but there were some others that piqued my memory so I must have read those too. The first thing to realize about Robert Frost is that he was big on nature. Most of his poems concern walking through snowy forests in New England around the turn of the century. Frost also did a ton of prose works. With all of that, it isn't really difficult to see how he became the poet laureate back during the 1960s. This particular copy contains poetry, a bibliography and an index of first lines. no reviews | add a review

A feast for lovers of American literature, the work of our greatest poet. No poet is more emblematically American than Robert Frost. From "The Road Not Taken" to "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" ; he refined and even defined our sense of what poetry is and what it can do. Prior to Frost's death, T.S. Eliot judged him "the most eminent, the most distinguished Anglo-American poet now living," and he is the only writer in history to have been awarded four Pulitzer Prizes. This comprehensive volume of Frost's verse comprises all eleven volumes of his poems; this collection has been the standard Frost compendium since its first publication in 1969.
