Fiction Poetry
Robert Frost is one of the most widely read, well loved, and
misunderstood of modern writers. In his day, he was also an
inveterate note-taker, penning thousands of intense
aphoristic thoughts, observations, and meditations in small
pocket pads and school theme books throughout his life.
These notebooks, transcribed and presented here in their
entirety for the first time, offer unprecedented insight
into Frost's complex and often highly contradictory thinking
about poetics, politics, education, psychology, science, and
religion--his attitude toward Marxism, the New Deal, World
War--as well as Yeats, Pound, Santayana, and William James.
Covering a period from the late 1890s to early 1960s, the
notebooks reveal the full range of the mind of one of
America's greatest poets. Their depth and complexity convey
the restless and probing quality of his thought, and show
how the unruliness of chaotic modernity was always just
beneath his appearance of supreme poetic control.
