Rebeck In an Hour
This was an enlightening journey into the mind and history of Robert Frost. While some of the earlier articles dragged a bit after a while (even Frost admits only so much can be said about chickens... lol ) overall they were a good read and held interesting facts and even more interesting looks into Frost's mind and thoughts.
I was surprised to read in the intro that he didn't even want his prose published like this so it had to be done after he had long passed on because he would keep blocking progress in the end. His reasoning was he didn't want it to compete with his poetry. Other parts I enjoyed finding out were how close he was to some of the other greats in poetry history. His tributes were beautiful and meaningful and his mentions in other writings were always respectful, even when he was actively disagreeing with their work.
Overall this was a great read, especially once you get past the first few collections of articles in his younger years. It was an eye opening adventure and an entertaining exploration into more of what made Frost who he was. If you enjoy Frost's work in poetry, I encourage you to read this collection of his prose. You will look at Frost with new eyes and a deeper appreciation for both his work as well as him in general.
