Summary: rooted in New England
Comment: These poems seem firmly rooted in New England and seem to be timeless, though decidedly pre-modern feel to them (this was originally published in 1916). Some of these poems may seem familiar ... "The road not taken" is popular at high school graduations. There are poems of nature such as The Oven Bird ("There is a singer everyone has heard,/ Load, a mid-summer and mid-wood bird,") or "Birches ("and they seem not to break; though once they are bowed/ for low for long, they never right themselves") but with wider significance. There are also poems of rural isolation such as "The Hill Wife" and "Snow". His poetry plays by literary and poetic rules, and may not be simple to read, but he does not oversimplify life.

Summary: Good little collection
Comment: This collection is actually not bad. It provides some of Frost's best poems in an easy to carry book, and for a buck you can't go wrong. This is great for first time Frost readers, but not for the experienced Frost fan. I love Frost and carry this book and plenty other Dover poetry books in my laptop case wherever I go!

Summary: No 'Stopping By the Woods on a Snowy Evening'
Comment: I was looking forward to reading 'Stopping By the Woods on a Snowy Evening', but came away disappointed. Of course, 'The Road Not Taken' is worth the price of admission regardless. It is chock-full - as chock-full as 53 pages can possibly be - of other Frost goodies.
Overall, a good book for the price and a great addition to your order, but for serious Frost devotees I would suggest a more comprehensive collection.
