Rating: - The complete Frost- The road not taken
For most of us most poets live through a few poems of theirs we have read in anthologies. It may be that in the case of a poet we especially love we have gone and read most of their poetry.

Rating: - A fine edition of a great American Voice.
Robert Frost is a unique American voice that many people love. A few reject him, but the majority of those whom he was writing for still love and admire his poetry. His fans always have favorites and can quote lines and whole poems from memory. When a poet gets into people's memories and hearts it is not a sure sign of greatness, but it is a good indicator of something special.
In some ways his works have aged because they are about an America that has passed. One poem that I think catches ... Read More
