Narration In Favor Of 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.

I spent some days in class
Robert Frost Selected Poems is a Collection of Robert Frost's work. Some of my Favorite works include, Home Burial, The Death of the Hired Man, The Line Gang, The Axe Helve, and The Black Cottage. I enjoyed these five works the most because it shows how people (in my opinion) think and talk to each other. I think that The Death of the Hired Man is probably my favorite because it goes to show you how some people are stuck in their ways and even when they are offered better, they take the route

The Selected Poems of Robert Frost, Robert FrostRobert Frost, the quintessential poet of New England, was born in San Francisco in 1874. He was educated at Dartmouth College and Harvard University. Although he managed to support himself working solely as a poet for most of his life and holding various posts with a number of universities, as a young man he was employed as a bobbin boy in a mill, a cobbler, a schoolteacher, and a farmer.

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
