A Boy's Will

When we think of Robert Frost, the most celebrated American poet of the twentieth century, certain poems immediately come to mind: "The Road Not Taken" - "Fire and Ice" - "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" - and numerous others. This volume-Frost's second-may, however, become the volume that first comes to mind. Unless you are one of the few intimately familiar with these offerings, you will find gems sure hereafter to be listed among your very favorites. Frost, unlike the nineteenth century romantics, does not glorify nature-he, with classic understatement and subtle rhyme, becomes one with nature. And he draws his reader in to take part. Robert Frost was the recipient of more Pulitzer Prizes than any other poet, recognized in 1924, 1931, 1937, and 1943. Decades will pass before another will be so honored.
