"Frost was a witty observationalist. With lines of verse like: "Something there is that doesn't love a wall / that wants it down..." (The Mending Wall) and "I have looked down the saddest city lane / I have passed by the watchman on his beat / and dropped my eyes unwilling to explain" (Acquainted with the Night), the simple, reflective soul of Frost's poetry unfailingly compels all kinds of emotional response. Definitely in my small canon of must-read American poets."
"frost is currently my favorite poet, next to yeats. his poems are so deceptively simple and become maddeningly complex once you dive in.
like yeats, frost developed theories of identity based on the in-betweenness and disorientation of motion. armed with this knowledge, and the fact that he was deeply atheistic, frost's poems take on a much more haunting quality. he does not view americana with rose-colored glasses, but rather he is a true modern poet who has little hope for the integrity of humankind."
"I've been reading from this collection for over fifteen years. Frost was a marvelous poet. He's so often conceptualized as a folksy patriarch type, but his poetry is actually politically complex and sharply observant of human failings."
"He expertly articulates and captures those feelings inspired in us as children. Wonderment and Beauty, Innocence, and Joyfulness, but also and equally, Loneliness Isolation and Desperation. Wisdom and Naivety.
Reading Frost is like traveling across New England With two people. The First incarnation a small enthusiastic and expressive child awe struck by the simple beauty of the landscape and changing seasons as he passes them by yearning to run ahead and spy what lay beyond the next bend.
The Second, a wiser and well traveled grandfatherly type, Who knows better than to openly advise against taking the short cut,though in a round about way counsels against the idea; lest we miss the point of the taking the back roads in the first place.
(If the above was confusing I apologize. Its late and Im trying to pay homage my favorite philosopher/poet.
I find Its like trying to explain why water tastes good when you've just crossed the Sahara. It should be obvious to all, but then what if the person has no idea what the Sahara IS?"
