Dedicated to Edward Thomas, a friend of Frost's and an important English poet who died toward the end of the First World War, \u003ci\u003eSelected Poems\u003c\/i\u003e is a wonderful sampling of poems from Frost's early collections, including \u003ci\u003eA Boy's Will\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eNorth of Boston\u003c\/i\u003e. Known for his plainspoken language and dedication to the images and rhythms of rural New England, Robert Frost is one of America's most iconic poets, a voice to whom generations of readers have turned in search of beauty, music, and life.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Mowing\" envisions the poet's work through the prism of rural labor. \"There was never a sound beside the wood but one \/ And that was my long scythe whispering to the ground. \/ What was it it whispered?\" The speaker does not know, but continues his task, hypnotized by its rhythm and simple music. In \"After Apple-Picking,\" as fall gives over to winter, the poet remembers in dreams how the \"Magnified apples appear and disappear, \/ Stem end and blossom end\" as he climbs the ladder into the heart of the tree. Both a symbol for life and a metaphor for the poetic act, apple picking leaves the poet \"overtired \/ Of the great harvest  he himself] desired\", awaiting sleep as he describes \"its coming on,\" wondering what, if anything, it will bring. \"The Road Not Taken,\" perhaps Frost's most famous poem, is a meditation on fate and free will that follows a traveler in an autumn landscape, unsure of which path to take, but certain he cannot stand still.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Robert Frost's \u003ci\u003eSelected Poems\u003c\/i\u003e is a classic of American literature reimagined for modern readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-13942011\"\u003eRobert Frost\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mint Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781513270890\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1513270893\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POE\"\u003ePoetry\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POE005010\"\u003eAmerican | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Mint Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42685245325549,"sku":"9781513270890","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_10b249f7-f836-41ea-a8e6-5d4323b2febe.jpg?v=1649764711","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/selected-poems-9781513270890","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
