Robert Frost has been my favorite American poet since I heard him recite one of his poems at President Kennedy's inauguration. I was 12 at the time, and Frost was near the end of his long life. Since then I have memorized a few of his poems. His words will always be part of me.
He writes beautifully, and simply, of things familiar and commonplace. Yet there is more to his work than first meets the eye. "Some say the world will end in fire; some say in ice," and "Something there is that doesn't love a wall," and "For I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep."
The only thing that could improve this book would be to include more of his poems.
