Robert Frost, a tribute to the source Book

A review of this book was reprinted in Atlantic Monthly for its centennial celebration. It's still considered the definitive book on Frost. Thompson knew Frost personally and was able to tell the story of how Frost created himself as a poet. He had plenty of personal agonies to draw from, and created plenty more for his family and few friends. It's my favorite kind of biography - one in which you experience the inside of someone else's life.
