Robert Frost has long been recognized as one of America's greatest poets.  Besides occupying a central and commanding position in American letters, he is one of the few poets whose work is widely read.

More than 350 poems comprise this volume..(with)extensive bibliographical information about the publication of Robert Frost's poetry during nearly three-quarters of a century--from 1894, when his first poem appeared in a publication of national circulation, the final volume the poet worked on just before his death.  The editor also carefully traces textual changes that have occurred in the poetry over the years.  

​

"His death impoverishes us all; but he has bequeathed his nation a body of imperishable verse from which Americans will forever gain joy and understanding."  John F. Kennedy.*

​

Alan Haehnel has selected 14 of the poems for the focus of the evening's discussion.  He also adds, "But if you come across others in the book you'd like to bring up, feel free!"
