These deceptively simple lines from the title poem of this collection suggest Robert Frost at his most representative: the language is simple, clear and colloquial, yet dense with meaning and wider significance. Drawing upon everyday incidents, common situations and rural imagery, Frost fashioned poetry of great lyrical beauty and potent symbolism.

Robert Frost's poetry still speaks to the soul. This 100th anniversary edition of "The Road Not Taken and Other Poems" features the classics from "A Boy's Will", "North of Boston" and "Mountain Interval." Introduction by David Orr. This Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition features an elegant softcover with a design of orange-brown oak leaves and acorns. 115 pages, deckled edges, French flaps.

Illustrations by Susan Jeffers perfectly portray the stanzas in Robert Frost's classic poem Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening. White woods, towns, and snowflakes play up the warmth of colors on the man's plaid jacket and sleigh blanket. A perfect way to snuggle up a cold night, and introduce young children to the beauty of Frost's poetry! Hardcover with frosted-translucent dust jacket. Approximately 8.75" x 7.25".

This volume presents Frost's first three books, masterful and innovative collections that contain some of his best known poems.

Robert Frost (1874-1963) described himself as having 'a lover's quarrel with the world,' and to this quarrel he brought a poetic consciousness and craft as powerful as any in the history of literature. His lyrics, dramatic monologues, and narratives, all of which are steeped in the wayward and isolated beauty of his native New England, stand like great, runic monuments at the center of America's inner life.

A proven bestseller time and time again, Robert Frost's Poems contains all of Robert Frost's best-known poems-and dozens more-in a portable anthology. Here are "Birches," "Mending Wall," "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening," "Two Tramps at Mudtime," "Choose Something Like a Star," and "The Gift Outright," which Frost read at the inauguration of John F. Kennedy." An essential addition to every home library, Robert Frost's Poems is a celebration of the New England countryside, Frost's appreciation of common folk, and his wonderful understanding of the human condition. These classic verses touch our hearts and leave behind a lasting impression.

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.

A collection of two of Robert Frost’s most celebrated poems in their original form: A Boy’s Will and North of Boston.
 
The publication of A Boy’s Will (1913) and North of Boston (1914) marked the debut of Robert Frost as a major talent and established him as the true poetic voice of New England. Four of his volumes would win the Pulitzer Prize before his death in 1963, and his body of work has since become an integral part of the American national heritage.
 
This is the only edition to present these two classics in their original form. A Boy’s Will introduced readers to Frost’s unmistakable poetic voice, and in North of Boston, we find two of his most famous poems, "Mending Wall" and "The Death of the Hired Man." With an introduction by distinguished critic and Amherst professor William H. Pritchard and an afterword by poet and critic Peter Davison, this centennial edition stands as a complete and vital introduction to the work of the quintessential modern American poet.

Frost’s early poems, selected by poet David Orr for the centennial of "The Road Not Taken"

A Penguin Classics Deluxe edition

For one hundred years, Robert Frost’s "The Road Not Taken" has enchanted and challenged readers with its deceptively simple premise—a person reaches a fork in the road, facing a choice full of doubt and possibility. The Road Not Taken and Other Poems presents Frost’s best-loved poem along with other works from his brilliant early years, including such poems as "After Apple-Picking," "The Oven Bird," and "Mending Wall." Award-winning poet and critic David Orr’s introduction discusses why Frost remains so central (if often misunderstood) in American culture and how the beautiful intricacy of his poetry keeps inviting generation after generation to search for meaning in his work.
