The Power of Expression in Perfection

Robert Frost is one of the great wizzards of poetry. His poetry is deep with a certain sense of mistery, both a pleasure and a challenge. You cannot just read through his poems. They force their audience to reflect and search for the meaning of the written. This book is not the latest and a little outdated, but it is printed in manner that makes it very easy and enjoyable to read.

Poetry for the common man

What can I say? Robert Frost is the quintessential American poet. Quite frankly, I never have really been drawn to poetry, either it is overly sentimental, too dramatic, or tries to hard to make a statement. Frost avoids all of these pitfalls, he writes poetry for the common man. I have to admit, I prefer the earlier works. Beautiful word pictures of an abandoned wood pile in the woods, a dirty patch of snow (or is it a piece of newspaper), and of course, a horse stopping by the woods on a snowy evening. His latter poems lack the beautiful simplicity of his earlier works, but nevertheless, they are still works of the master. Over the years, this book has been a constant companion. Sitting in my wingback chair, I have enjoyed reading these poems again and again. As I prepared for this review I was struck how many of these poems dealt with death: The Death of the Hired Man, After Apple Picking, Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening, A Late Walk among them. Others are fanciful such as The Kitchen Chimney.If you are considering taking a dive into poetry, start here. There is no better American poet than Robert Frost.

Okay, there's no possible excuse now people; for a relatively cheap price, you get the collected poems of quite possibly the best twentieth century American poet.

Some people take vitamins. I read a poem by Robert Frost.

If you'll buy a copy of this book and randomly read a poem a day, you'll soon find yourself saying things more colorfully and provocatively than ever before. A daily diet of Robert Frost will season your language with the unpredictable as you unconsciously begin to phrase your thoughts differently. Unusual combinations of words will appear on your tongue as you say things that have never before been said. Your friends will stop you in mid-sentence to ask, "Did you just make that up?" Your customers will more frequently nod their heads and say "I'll buy it." Your spouse will gaze into your eyes and more often be "in the mood." Don't be a weenie. Buy the hardback. It's worth the extra few bucks.
