The definitive biography of one of the world's favourite poets- 'The Road Not Taken' is one of the most quoted - and most inspirational - poems of the twentieth century. In this new biography of Robert Frost (1874-1963), Jay Parini offers a major reassessment of the life and work of America's premier poet. He traces the various stages of his colourful life- his boyhood in San Francisco, his young manhood in rural New England, his college days in Dartmouth and Harvard, the years of farming in New Hampshire, and the sojourn in England, where he befriended Edward Thomas, Ezra Pound and other major figures of modern poetry. He shows how Frost gradually evolved from poet to cultural icon, becoming a friend of presidents, and a sage whose announcements attracted world press attention.

This work is a scholarly, warm, insightful and very thorough look at one of America's most beloved artists. Parini, himself a fine poet, has a conversational style, knows his facts (and annotates them), and provides some excellent analyses of many of Frost's better read poems. Parini is also careful to maintain certain threads/trends which identify the poet throughout his life, and does likewise for Frost's family members. A very satisfying and rewarding read.
