Book Synopsis
Celebrate Robert Frost's 150th birthday with a deluxe keepsake edition featuring 16 of his greatest poems—with brilliant essays highlighting his special genius and the power of memorization to unlock the magic of his language

During a public reading Robert Frost was once asked why he so frequently recited his poems from memory. With typical wit, he replied: “If they won’t stick to me, I won’t stick to them.” Remarkably among the modern poets, his poems “stick” to the reader: 

  • Mending Wall, with its famous invocation of the rural maxim Good fences make good neighbors
  • The Road Not Taken, about the beguiling possibilities of life
  • Birches, which reminds us that One could do worse than be a swinger of birches
  • Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening, with its unforgettable final line: And miles to go before I sleep.
