Robert Frost: Collected Poems, Prose, and Plays (Library of America) Book

Here is the first authoritative and comprehensive collection of Robert Frost's writings. It brings together in a single volume all the major poetry, all of Frost's dramatic writing, and the most extensive gathering of his prose writings ever published. The core of this collection is the 1949 "Complete Poems of Robert Frost," the last edition supervised by the poet himself—free of the unauthorized editorial changes introduced into subsequent editions. Also included is "In The Clearing" (1962), Frost's final volume of poetry. Verse drawn from letters, articles, pamphlets, and journals makes up the largest selection of uncollected poems ever assembled, including nearly two dozen early works printed here for the first time. The prose section is rich and diverse, presenting many newly discovered or rediscovered pieces, including Frost's written contribution for John F. Kennedy's inauguration, two fascinating 1959 essays on "The Future of Man," and the essays "'Caveat Poeta'" and "The Way There."...A selection of letters represents all of Frost's important comments about prosody, poetics, style, and his theory of 'sentence sounds.'
