A Boy's Will

Robert Frost

Book Overview: 

A Boy’s Will is Robert Frost’s first full volume of poetry. Issued when Frost was approaching forty, it established his reputation and created a revolution in American poetry. With this publication, Frost became an established poet. He later became the major American poet of the twentieth century.

A Boy’s Will is characteristic of Frost’s ability to conjure photographically clear physical images while ruminating on the complexities of the human condition, its frailties and strengths, and its temporal state, like that of his beloved New England landscape.

Book Excerpt: 
. . .And a cellar in which the daylight falls, And the purple-stemmed wild raspberries grow. O'er ruined fences the grape-vines shield The woods come back to the mowing field; The orchard tree has grown one copse Of new wood and old where the woodpecker chops; The footpath down to the well is healed. I dwell with a strangely aching heart In that vanished abode there far apart On that disused and forgotten road That has no dust-bath now for the toad. Night comes; the black bats tumble and dart; The whippoorwill is coming to shout And hush and cluck and flutter about: I hear him begin far enough away Full many a time to say his say Before he arrives to say it out. It is under the small, dim, summer star. I know not who these mute folk are Who share the unlit place with me— Those stones out under the low-limbed tree Doubtless bear names that the mosses mar. They are tireless folk. . . Read More

This is about as complete of a collection of Robert Frost's works you can get so to say this book deserves 5 stars would be an understatement. Frost is easily one of the greatest poets of all time and will always be a giant in the world of poetry. His poetry also holds a special place in my heart fo

He frequently struggled with the implications of metaphor in his work, coming to an understanding “that all thinking...is

Reading Frost is a wonder. His work has become so quoted in our culture that you'd think he'd be in danger of becoming cliche. He still transcends that. His icy scenes and wintry imagery show a mind so affixed to nature's quiet desolation; a soul-searcher firmly grounded in the soil he farms and fie

Robert Frost is one of the most celebrated American poets of the 20th century - likely one of the few American poets that a random American could name off the top of their head. Frost is a master of language, with a remarkable ability to craft poems that are both accessible and profound. His poems o

Frost have a very unique collection of poems that provide the readers with advice.

This is the perfect Frost book! What I like about this edition is that besides Frost's wonderful poetry, it also has a section of his prose. In addition, at the end of the book there is an interesting and useful chronology of the poet's life. It was interesting reading how Frost, when he was a young

Here's the thing. Most of this book really sucks. It's terrible. However, when it doesn't suck, it's beyond brilliant. Frost wrote more great poems than any other 20th century poet, I think, but he surrounded them with so much pedestrian crap that it's hard to find them sometimes. "Birches," "Mendin
