`If you don't know a student doing English A-levels, buy a copy for yourself.' Friends of the Dymock Poets Newsletter, issue 19
--This text refers to the
Paperback
edition.
Book Description
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.

But "Jewels" neglected to mention:, Dec 23 2005
By Bread Loaf - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Robert Frost: Selected Poems (Hardcover)
Julie-Anne Dentici "Jewels" said her favorite Frost poem was "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening." She neglected to mention that this poem is not included in the book. "Often overlooked," indeed!

The road less traveled, Jan 16 2006
By Shalom Freedman "Shalom Freedman" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Robert Frost: Selected Poems (Hardcover)
This selection of Frost's poetry contains his first three volumes, " A Boy's Will", "North of Boston" " Mountain Interval". It contains some of his most well-known poems, "Mending Wall"," Home Burial", "The Road not taken" "Birches" " The Hired Man" " After Apple Picking".It also contains a brief biographical sketch and survey of the works of this volume by Gail Harvey.Frost in my own judgment does not quite make it to the top-of-the -top of American poetry, where Whitman, Dickinson and Wallace Stevens stand. But his insistent dialogue with Nature and Life do make for an often harshly beautiful poetry. He often seems to me somehow stronger in mind and will than in human sympathy. But the messages are clear and resound as part of the American heritage in poetry.
" Two roads diverged in a wood,and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."

Epitome of GREATNESS!, Oct 2 2004
By Julie-Anne Dentici "Jewels" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Robert Frost: Selected Poems (Hardcover)
Robert Frost is my favorite American poet. My favorite poem written by him is "Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening." This poem is generally overlooked, because people tend to associate "The Road Not Taken" with Frost. Both are great, but "Snowy Evening" is better, I think! For anyone who is a Robert Frost fan, this book is a nice addition to any library, and a nice edition to have.
