Representaion As Books Selected Poems

John F. Kennedy said of Robert Frost: "He has bequeathed his nation a body of imperishable verse from which Americans will forever gain joy and understanding." A four-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize for poetry, Frost created a new poetic language that has a deep and timeless resonance. In addition to Robert Frost's first three books, this collection includes eighteen early poems that did not appear in his eleven books of poetry and have rarely been reprinted. Some of these express the idealism of youth inspired by heroic figures of the past. Others are love poems to Elinor White, whom he married in 1895. This book features a deluxe cover, ribbon marker, top stain, and decorative endpapers with a nameplate.

Discuss Containing Books Selected Poems

I love this book. And I love the way in which Frost writes poetry. The success of the poems resides in their ability to speak to the reader; they have a certain sense of universal quality as they evoke profound mental states. He does this through using objects, often natural ones, to describe a certain human emotion or feeling. A tree in the wind embodies indecision and the inability to move on. A road split in two represents a part of the human experience that I can now only think of in the

UPDATE review :I found myself yesterday in 2 discussions here on goodreads. The first involved the importance of plot in the written word (crime fiction) and the second involved the absence of concrete actions and concrete realities in writing in general, specifically contemporary fiction novels. We all read for various reasons (some of us read cereal box contents at breakfast, for example, to avoid conversation in the rest of the room or to just read something, anything, cause we MUST read

Absolutely beautiful edition of Robert Frost's work. The illustrations aren't exactly what I would call beautiful but they do add a bit of ambience to the wonderful poetry printed within this book. Beautiful hardback edition.This is a great addition to anyone's library!

Love Robert Frost. This edition was actually from Barnes and Noble. Never realized most of his poetry read like short stories. Will re-read and enjoy again and again...

A book originally purchased for an English class in high school, after years of on and off reading, I finally finished it. It was like mining for gold, it was worth all the work to glean some beautiful nuggets.

Robert Frost used the rhythm of actual speech in a masterful way. The cadence of his writing is very pleasing, almost like music. I did have to read a few of his poems more than once to understand them. It was almost like a puzzle, and if I read it at just the right pace with just the right concentration (not too much and not too little) the meaning would suddenly be unlocked. His poems are truly beautiful in their simplicity. I found that I preferred the ones that didn't have dialogue between

Ah, Robert Frost: the man who convinced me that I hated poetry. Years ago, I was assigned to read some of his poetry for school and, let's just say, I read them as if I was taking cough-syrup. (Note: Why, yes! I hate cough-syrup. I'll never forget the fateful night where I spit a mouthful of it across the bathroom. Good times...) Anyhow, so I didn't enjoy his poems because I was reading them with the wrong attitude &c. If Carl Sandburg hadn't come along later and shown me what a wonderful
