Description

From one of the most brilliant and widely read of all American poets, a generous selection of lyrics, dramatic monologues, and narrative poems--all of them steeped in the wayward and isolated beauty of Frost's native New England. Includes his classics "Mending Wall, " "Birches, " and "The Road Not Taken, " as well as poems less famous but equally great.

He attended school at Dartmouth and Harvard, worked in a mill, taught, and took up farming, before he moved to England, where his first books of poetry, "A Boy s Will"(1913) and"North of Boston"(1914), were published."North of Boston"brought him recognition as the preeminent voice of New England and as one of America s major poets. In 1915 he returned to the United States and settled on a farm in New Hampshire. Four volumes of his poetry, "New Hampshire"(1923), "Collected Poems"(1930), "A Further Range"(1936), and"A Witness Tree"(1942) were all awarded the Pulitzer Prize. He died in 1963."
