Robert Frost geldt als een van de meest geliefde Amerikaanse dichters van de 20e eeuw, bekend om zijn stoïcijnse, humeurige en eenvoudige, maar toch diepzinnige verzen. Frost ving de moderne verbeelding van landelijk New England met zijn pastorale beelden, vaak gebruikmakend van traditionele rijm en metrum in schril contrast met de vrije versvorm die in zijn tijd de overhand had. Zijn kenmerkende, sobere stem onderzocht thema's als isolement, natuur en menselijke keuzes, en vormde zo een blijvend beeld van het plattelandsleven. Zijn werk resoneert bij lezers door zijn toegankelijkheid en diepe filosofische ondertoon, wat zijn status als blijvende figuur in de Amerikaanse literatuur bevestigt.

"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. Originally published in 1916 under the title Mountain Interval.
Robert Frost is one of the most widely read, well loved, and misunderstood of modern writers. In his day, he was also an inveterate note-taker, penning thousands of intense aphoristic thoughts, observations, and meditations in small pocket pads and school theme books throughout his life. These notebooks, transcribed and presented here in their entirety for the first time, offer unprecedented insight into Frost's complex and often highly contradictory thinking about poetics, politics, education, psychology, science, and religion--his attitude toward Marxism, the New Deal, World War--as well as Yeats, Pound, Santayana, and William James. Covering a period from the late 1890s to early 1960s, the notebooks reveal the full range of the mind of one of America's greatest poets. Their depth and complexity convey the restless and probing quality of his thought, and show how the unruliness of chaotic modernity was always just beneath his appearance of supreme poetic control. Edited by preeminent Frost scholar Robert Faggen and annotated to help readers with the poet's more elusive references, the notebooks are also thoroughly cross-referenced, marking thematic connections within these and Frost's other writings, including his poetry, letters, and other prose. This is a major new addition to the canon of Robert Frost's writings.
No poet is more emblematically American than Robert Frost. This is a comprehensive volume of his verse, comprising all eleven volumes of his poems, meticulously edited by Edward Connery Lathem.
