New Hampshire

By Robert Frost
New Hampshire by Robert Frost digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Robert Frost published New Hampshire, his fourth book of poetry, in 1923. The centerpiece is the long poem “New Hampshire,” an ode to the state. Endnotes on its lines point to shorter poems in the “Notes” section, and the book is capped with “Grace Notes,” a series of short lyrics—some of which are among Frost’s most famous works. The poems are each a meditative brushstroke of Americana, presented in Frost’s trademark plain-spoken but carefully-considered verse. The collection went on to win the 1924 Pulitzer prize for poetry, the first of four Frost would go on to receive.

Included in this book is “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening,” “Fire and Ice,” and “Nothing Gold Can Stay.”

“Good-by and keep cold! Robert Frost is one of my favourite poets, [to be continued later, but felt a certain urgency in posting this review as a grounding practice] The first, second, and third times I encountered Robert Frost were in less than ideal circumstances, "The Road Not Taken" and "Design" for school (If design govern in a thing so small.). I only started to consider Frost more seriously as a poet who might have anything for me after my re-acquaintance to him by way of Joseph Brodsky, who in his book of essays Less Than One makes a throwaway reference to "The Star-Splitter", quoting For to be social is to be forgiving. For to be social is to be forgiving. What a line!!!!! I've been marvelling at Frost in New Hamsphire, which along with the narrative poem "The Star-Splitter" (Frost references his character Brad McLaughlin elsewhere, in "New Hampshire" (I knew a man who failing a a famer/ Burned down his farmhouse for the fire insurance,, and in "The Need of Being Versed in Country Things"), has other powerful poems like "The Aim Was Song" and "Wild Grapes", some of his more famous works ("Good-by and Keep Cold" and "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening"). I keep returning to "Wild Grapes", his particular rhythm (And the life I live now's an extra life / I can waste as I please on whom I please) and diction ( ... So I was translated / To loud cries from my brother of "Let go! / Don't you know anything, you girl? Let go!", and I held on uncomplainingly for life.). Frost renders these prosaic and ordinary situation with such care. A solid favourite.”
