New Releases by Robert Frost

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. "These deceptively simple lines from the title poem of this collection suggest Robert Frost at his most representative: the language is simple, clear and colloquial, yet dense with meaning and wider significance. Drawing upon everyday incidents, common situations and rural imagery, Frost fashioned poetry of great lyrical beauty and potent symbolism. Now a selection of the best of his early works is available in this volume, originally published in 1916 under the title Mountain Interval. Included are many moving and expressive poems: "An Old Man''s Winter Night," "In the Home Stretch," "Meeting and Passing," "Putting In the Seed," "A Time to Talk," "The Hill Wife," "The Exposed Nest," "The Sound of Trees" and more. All are reprinted here complete and unabridged. Includes a selection from the Common Core State Standards Initiative: "The Road Not Taken."

Robert Frost was of course a great poet, but he was equally a marvelous teacher who delighted in discussing the nature of writing. Elaine Barry has collected a superb group of Frost letters, reviews, introductions, lectures, and interviews dating all the way back to 1913. In addition to all the major Frost letters on the nature of writing thus far published, Miss Barry includes newly discovered letters and material she came upon while researching this book. Miss Barry integrates this collection of "Frost on Writing" with a shrewd and sympathetic analysis of the scope of his literary criticism. Here is Frost''s view of literature and its relation to language, and beyond language, to social order. The book adds to the picture of Frost''s connections with the literary figures of his time; it is both a delight and a discovery. -- From publisher''s description.
