A feast for lovers of American literature-the work of our greatest poet, redesigned and relaunched for a new generation of readers
No poet is more emblematically American than Robert Frost. From "The Road Not Taken" to "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening," he refined and even defined our sense of what poetry is and what it can do. T. S. Eliot judged him "the most eminent, the most distinguished Anglo-American poet now living," and he is the only writer in history to have been awarded four Pulitzer Prizes.

A Feast of Great Poetry by an American Master No poet is more emblematically American than Robert Frost. From "Birches" and "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" to "The Gift Outright" and "Directive," his poems have refined and even defined our sense of what poetry is and what it can do. T. S. Eliot judged Frost to be "the most eminent, the most distinguished ... Anglo-American poet now living." Frost is the only poet ever to have been awarded four Pulitzer Prizes. Edward Connery Lathem, a Frost scholar and a close friend of the poet, has scrupulously annotated the more than 350 poems in this volume. His notes include bibliographical information on the publication of the poems and specify the textual changes Frost himself made over the years. This authoritative collection has stood as the standard Frost compendium since its first publication in 1969.
