Narration In Pursuance Of Books The Poetry of Robert Frost
The only comprehensive gathering of Frost's published poetry, this affordable volume offers the entire contents of his eleven books of verse, from A Boy's Will (1913) to In the Clearing (1962). Frost scholar Lathem, who was also a close friend of the four-time Pulitzer Prize-winner, scrupulously annotated the 350-plus poems in this collection, which has been the standard edition of Frost's work since it first appeared in 1969.

Robert Frost is the Thomas Kinkade of poetry.A fundamental poetry bookThere's not much that needs to be said about the poetry of Robert Frost, except that, unlike most things in life, it's as good as it's supposed to be.

There were a few poems I enjoyed in this collection, but I think, on the whole, Robert Frosts style of poetry is not my cup of tea.
It may seem strange to allot only four stars to such a great poet. However, for me, there are (more or less) two Frosts.

Highly recommended: reading through a whole book of one poet's work. If that sounds daunting, let me assure you: This book, which isn't even a complete collection of Frost's poems, took me eight months to get through. I read when I felt like it, sometimes several poems in a sitting, sometimes just one before bed. Whole weeks went by when I wasn't in a poem-y mood. At first it was really hard to sit down and just read a poem but after a while, even though it still took concentration, it felt more
