While 'A Boy’s Will' informed the world that a new talent was on the horizon, 'North of Boston' proclaimed loudly that that talent had arrived. This extraordinary book of poetry put Robert Frost at the forefront of American poetry: a position he would occupy for the rest of his life. This edition, unlike most other editions, has been carefully restored to its original first edition form preserving line spacing and formatting. "Mr. Frost is an honest writer, writing from himself, from his own knowledge and emotion . . . he is quite consciously and definitely putting New England life into verse." —Ezra Pound "The best poetry written in America in a long time."— William Butler Yeats

Robert Frost

Robert Frost is one of America's most beloved poets. Born in 1874 in San Francisco, California, he spent most of his life in rural New England. His poems frequently drew on his rural surroundings to teach deeper principles on life. Some of his most famous poems include "Mending Wall", "Birches", "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" and "The Road Not Taken" featured in this book. By his passing in 1963, Frost had been awarded four Pulitzer Prizes for poetry, received the Congressional Gold Medal, and been nominated thirty-one times for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
