Poetry is a fascinating use of language. With almost a million words at its command it is not surprising that the English language has produced some of the most beautiful, moving and descriptive verse through the centuries. In this series we look at individual poets who have shaped and influenced their craft and cement their place in our heritage. In this volume we look further at the works of the eminent American writer Robert Frost.

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Robert Frost is a poet of memories and ghosts, silences and sorrows. His music is made by the rhythms of nature: the flutter of bats at dusk, the cry of the lone whippoorwill; his images lie in the earth for the moss and grapevines to cover. A Boy’s Will is Frost’s first collection of poems.

About the Author

Robert Frost (1874-1963) was an American poet. Born in San Francisco, Frost moved with his family to Lawrence, Massachusetts following the death of his father, a teacher and editor. There, he attended Lawrence High School and went on to study for a brief time at Dartmouth College before returning home to work as a teacher, factory worker, and newspaper delivery person. Certain of his calling as a poet, Frost sold his first poem in 1894, embarking on a career that would earn him acclaim and honor unlike any American poet before or since. Before his paternal grandfather’s death, he purchased a farm in Derry, New Hampshire for Robert and his wife Elinor. For the next decade, Frost worked on the farm while writing poetry in the mornings before returning to teaching once more. In 1912, having moved to England, Frost published A Boy’s Will, his first book of poems. Through the next several years, he wrote and published poetry while befriending such writers as Edward Thomas and Ezra Pound. In 1915, after publishing North of Boston (1914) in London, Frost returned to the United States to settle on another farm in Franconia, New Hampshire, where he continued writing and teaching and began lecturing. Over the next several decades, Frost published numerous collections of poems, including New Hampshire: A Poem with Notes and Grace Notes (1924) and Collected Poems (1931), winning a total of four Pulitzer Prizes and establishing his reputation as the foremost American poet of his generation.

Robert Frost, a master. Possibly written in his youth? It has that feel to it. Exuberance. Few of the poems are unravelble lilre a lot of poems are these days.

This is a reproduction of an original work. I find it a little difficult on the kindle. No index to click right to a certain poem. I changed the formatting around and still didn't seem to find the right one. I looked at other reviews and they seemed to have same problems. So I knew what I was getting and willing to work around that for the free cost.

True Love Dies

A roller coaster ride for main character - he falls in love, she does not return his love , runs off with another man, and after not seeing him for a few years - she begs to stay with him. Dramatic, sad and turmoil of emotions. I watched TCM awhile ago, and apparently Bette Davis played the in and out user of main character. Loved this book.

Great book in a poor presentation

The content is great, but I am giving 2 starts to this books because it is not well formatted: some pages are presented in a Courier font. Probably it is OK for a free book.

Early Robert Frost, including some of the best known poems? For free? What could possibly be wrong with that?

Perhaps not the best formatting job in the known universe, but the poems are there in handy electronic form.

Terrible production value

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2014

This edition of Frost's classic is produced with all the style of a government report. All the words are there, but the poems are presented artlessly, as though they had been pasted into a long word document and then printed without regard to page breaks or spacing. No one who cares for the written word would have printed this work in this fashion. Typeface was poor (courier? can't recall exactly, but reminiscent of an actual typewriter) and the book is sized at roughly 8.5 x 11, making it a large, thin volume, ungainly and ugly to boot.

I bought this to give as a gift and sent it back immediately -- I would have been embarrassed to give it. Return shipping at my cost, as well as a 10% restocking fee. Stay away.
