The Road Not Taken and Other Poems (Dover Thrift Editions)

One of my favorite poets of all time. I can't believe I got this for less than $3 as it has some of his best work in this book. One of the greatest of our time and a must read for any poetry or nature love!

This book is a good way to spend some relaxing time in the afternoon. The pieces are short enough for just a few minutes, or you can get through the whole book in a couple hours. It's a nice small collection of his works.

This book serves as a great introduction to Robert Frost’s poetry…and as such, it helped to remind me why I didn’t like his poetry. Naturally, we had to study various poets in school (admittedly that was over 54 years ago, who knows what they teach now). At any rate, it’s a nifty little book for those who do appreciate his rambling poems that feel more like short stories (in particular, the poem Snow) than ‘real’ poems.

It is easy to order this, for a couple of dollars, add it to the shelf. It is a great intro for those interested in well known poems. I had a request from my daugher for books on poetry - there are a few in this series, for similar prices and the experience in these, for my daughter, is priceless. It is more affordable to order these books than to copy or print them off. No brainer if you are looking at this. All a gain.

Just as expected and can't complain!

I am a huge fan of Robert Frost and love to have anything containing his work to add to my personal library, so for the price this was a no brainer for me. It doesn't have all of his best poems but it has quite a few and many people should simply take the time to read. I am happy with this purchase, I love the cover art and it's a great addition to my collection.

Bought for a young child who is just beginning to study poetry, the length of the book is perfect to get a quick glimpse of Frost's work. I do wish it included Mending Wall and Stopping by the Woods, but for the price it's a great little survey of a beloved American poet.

This is a pretty good selection of Robert Frost's poems. I bought it because I really love "The Road Not Taken". It's a fairly thin volume but for the prive and the fact that it counts toward the SuperSaver Shipping makes it a great buy. If your interested in Frost's poetry or American poetry in general this is the best place to start.

Worth the money. Such a great collection of stories!

Bought as a gift for my daughter's bridesmaid after she recited the title poem, one afternoon, as we sat around drinking Pimms just days before the wedding. When I gave it to her, for her birthday,she was thrilled as it contained many poems that she'd not read before. She can't remember her rendition...probably too much Pimms

I liked this collection, although not all the poems in it appealed to me. Some of my all time favorites are in here though! The formatting is a little wonky, but what poetry book isn't these days?

Bob Frost ist einfach toll! Eine wunderbare Poesie! Irgendwann werde ich noch einmal "Dawn by Law" sehen und die Stelle suchen, in der Roberto Benigni für Tom Waits Bob Frost auf italienisch rezitiert. Ich bin nur durch dieses Zitat zu "Bob Frost" gekommen. Das schönste Gedicht ist für mich das des Buch-Titels: "The road not taken" Als pensionierter Lehrer und sich selber treu gebliebener "68ziger" kann ich getrost den "Schröders" oder "Fischers" oder allen anderen auf dem "Weg nach oben" zurufen: " I took the other Way " Oh Bob, ich verehre Dich für dieses Gedicht! Es gibt mir Kraft für weitere 68 Jahre!

Nous voilà enfin sortis des minauderies symbolistes et des contorsions mallarméennes. Il n'y a rien à y ajouter sauf : lisez cette poésie. Georges Duquin
