I read this book in 2 tries. The first time I didn't get past the first 20 pages or so. Somehow the idyllic landscapes and contemplative journeys seemed boring, and for some reason, I didn't get a lot of things. Don't know whether that was because of the language barrier, or because it was poetry...



However, I tried again, and very glad I did. Had to push myself a little to get through the beginning, but then I just got sucked into Frost's world. Man! He has a way of telling an entire story in a couple of pages, complete with warring motivations, feelings, doubts... This was just beautiful. Now nature, the contemplation, the characters he created were vivid, and somehow the barrier was gone - didn't have a problem of "getting" it.

This book made me fall in love with poetry again. Also, it contained the only two Frost's poems I previously knew :) They're still among my favorites.



This is a beautiful edition. Definitely going to buy more books in the "Everyman's Library Pocket Poets" series.
