“3.5 stars
This was my first ever poetry collection that I have ever read through. I chose to read a Robert Frost collection first since I love ‘Nothing Gold Can Stay’, which was mentioned in ‘The Outsiders’, which was required reading in high school.
I enjoyed many of the poems in this collection, but to average out all the poems and the reading experience, I would give it 3.5 stars.
There were definitely 5 star poems within this collection- all from the ‘Grace Notes’ section of the book. My favs were essentially all of the nature-focused poems. Some, not all, of my favourites were:
- Nothing Gold Can Stay
- Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
- Dust of Snow
- The Valley’s Singing Day
Note to self: I read this book via my physical copy while a YouTube audio read the poems out to me”

“The best of Frost books since his debut, A Boy's Will. This contains a wide variety of poems, and they are not all great, but there are some that are astoundingly good. There are several shorter, scenic poems in here and these tend to be more to my liking. The titular poem, which opens the book, is hilarious and it keyed me into the good humor that pokes its head up throughout the book, especially in some of the longer "story" or "conversation" poems.
Frost has a tendency in these poems to include something akin to a moral, but I think these are always a bit suspect, and there is typically more going on than what first appears. This is a volume I'm likely to return to.”
