Early Poems (Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics)

Early Poems collects Frost's first three books, A Boy's Will, North of Boston, and Mountain Interval, as well as a selection of superb work from the early 1920s. These masterful and innovative volumes contain some of Frost's best and best-known poems. Robert Faggen's introduction and notes reveal Frost's complex relation to modern and classical poetic traditions, his dialogue with science and philosophy, and his achievement of making each poem "a momentary stay against confusion."
