Robert A. Frost Books
Robert Frost, a poet known for his flinty, moody, and plainspoken depth, profoundly shaped the modern image of rural New England. His distinctive solitary voice and evocative imagery of natural elements like apple trees and stone fences resonated deeply with readers. Frost championed traditional rhyme and meter, famously dismissing free verse as akin to playing tennis with the net down. His work often explores themes of nature, isolation, and the choices that define human experience.
A Sweet Place to Play is a collection of poems the author wrote over a thirty year period. They reflect his moods, loves and observations as well has his good-byes and revelations. Living in Arizona, riding motorcycles, playing his part in life, all contribute to poetry that is interesting, fun to read aloud and quite meaningful. For the most part, the works are not traditional. For instance "Castaway" is written in three sentences, yet it tells of sinking despair, but conclude with hope. Another talks about man and his tears. Enjoy.
