Books with author Frost Robert

This collection was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1943. Most of the poems in this volume are short lyrics.This collection was published after several unfortunate tragedies had occurred in Frost's personal life i.e. his daughter Marjorie's death in 1934, his wife's death in 1938, his son Carol committed suicide in 1940. Despite these losses, Frost continued to work on his poetry and eventually fell in love with his secretary Kay Marrison, who became the primary inspiration of the love poems in this collection. This collection is the last of Frost's books that demonstrates the seamless lyric quality of his earlier poems. The most popular poem of this volume is "The Gift Outright", a patriotic poem that was recited at the presidential inauguration of John F. Kennedy in 1961.

First published in 1916, MOUNTAIN INTERVAL is Robert Frost’s third collection of poetry, following A BOY'S WILL (1913) and NORTH OF BOSTON (1914). His Contemporaries on the Poetry of Robert Frost:He not only sees things but sees things in their relations; and he knows that not only is everything related to every other thing, but that all things are related to the eternal mystery, their source and their goal. This is why the yellow primrose is so infinitely more than a yellow primrose. This also explains why the poems of Mr. Frost, after stirring us to glad recognition of their fidelity, leave us in a revery. — William Lyon Phelps in THE ADVANCE OF ENGLISH POETRY IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURYMr. Frost writes down exactly what he sees. But, being a true poet, he sees it vividly and with a charm which translates itself into a beautiful simplicity of expression. He is an eminently sympathetic poet. He wins first by his gentle understanding, and his strong and unsentimental power of emotion; later, we are conquered by his force, and moved to admiration by his almost unapproachable technique. — Amy Lowell in TENDENCIES IN MODERN AMERICAN POETRY

Robert Frost (1874-1963) was the most celebrated poet in America for most of the twentieth century. Although chiefly associated with the life and landscapes of New England, his work embodies penetrating and often dark explorations of universal themes. New Hampshire features Frost's meditations on rural life, love, and death, delivered in the voice of a soft-spoken New Englander. Critics have long marveled at the poet's gift for capturing the speech of the region's natives and his realistic evocations of the area's landscapes. This compilation first published in 1923 earned Frost the first of his four Pulitzer Prizes, and includes several of his best-known poems: ""Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening,"" ""Nothing Gold Can Stay,"" and ""Fire and Ice"" as well as verse based on such traditional songs as ""I Will Sing You One-O.""
