Rating:  - A lump in the throat...
I recommend this book to all those who have wondered at the world in all it's forgotten glory and revelled in the faintest scent of flower and form that God has thrown into our hurried paths, who have stumbled through the woods deliriously yet, meditatively and choked on the overwhelming delicateness of silence that leads voices to whisper and tense jaws to slacken. Here in this volume of poetry you will find a companion whose reverence for life reverberates through verse after verse. This collection exemplifies Mr. Frost's idea that a poem should not be planned but should begin as "a lump in the throat."
Rating: - Best example of Robert Frost's poetry.
My favorite is the title poem, "The Road Not Taken." I enjoyed this book and any poetry lover will as well. The reader will meditate and reflect on life as Frost did.
Rating:  - Frost poems always present a calm view of the world
This volume is small but power-packed with Frost's writings which he refers to as "interval". He uses rural imagery to make sense of life. While the beautiful "Road Not Taken" keynotes the volume, other poems, such as "Birches" also delights: "So was I once myself a swinger of birches. And so I dream of going back to be." He's in touch with his childhood, the simplest of times, and uses these times and thoughts to explain adult concerns. These poems are lucid thoughts of someone who has taken the time to observe the details of living. Add this book to your order; it's worth the tiny price for the great reading you'll find within.
