Robert Frost set out with the ambition "to be a poet for all sorts and kinds." The
story of how he succeeded in his ambition is dramatized in the poems themselves ;
Tracing this story, Tim Kendall presents a judicious selection of sixty five poems
from across Frost's writing career, beginning in the 1890s and ending with "Directive"
from the 1940s. Encouraging readers to follow the journey which Frost himself recognized
in all great poetry ("It begins in delight and ends in wisdom"), Kendall intersperses
the poems with sensitive and elegant close readings. He reawakens readers to the complexity
and strangeness of the poet's canonical works and draws attention to lesser-known
but equally powerful poems from across his oeuvre ; The first book on Frost to combine
selected poems with a critical study, this engaging, carefully considered, and accessible
volume will remind readers why Frost remains one of th most popular and critically
respected poets of the past century
