SELECTED POEMS OF ROBERT FROST - Illustrated Edition (Hardcover) Brand New

Description: THE EARLY WORK OF AN AMERICAN MASTER POET THIS SPLENDID BOOK IS A COLLECTION OF MORE THAN 100 poems from the early work of Robert Frost (1874 - 1963) who is considered to be among the greatest of American poets, notable for his evocative descriptions of rural experiences and for his capture of American colloquial speech. A lifelong teacher whose influence remains profound, Frost was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry four times - in 1924, 1931, 1937 and 1943. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize no fewer than 31 times. The epitaph on Frost's tombstone is from his poem The Lesson for Today. It says: "I had a lover's quarrel with the world." THE BOOK IS A ONE OF THE FALL RIVER PRESS SERIES OF CLASSIC EDITIONS. They are beautifully designed and affordable volumes that should have a wide appeal as collectibles not only because of their subject matter but also because of their quality of production. The publishers were determined to make them attractive books. This one has many exquisite black-and-white illustrations by Thomas Nason that mingle with Frost's works on off-white paper (some examples above). The poet's short poem Fire and Ice (included in this book) is said to have inspired the title of George R.R. Martin 's fantasy tale A Song of Fire and Ice. THE BOOK WE OFFER IS BRAND NEW AND AWAITING ITS FIRST OWNER AND READER. The striking cover and interior design is by Scott Russo. It includes such much-loved poems as The Road Not Taken and Mending Wall. This book is of gift quality.
