North of Boston was the book that cemented Robert Frost's reputation as a leading American poet. First published in 1914, the poetry collection contains some of his most memorable works: the symbolic "Mending Wall," the elegiac "Death of a Hired Man," and the evocative "After Apple-Picking." Frost's medium is the plain speech of rural New England, beautifully worked into meter and rhyme. He subtly touches on themes of mortality, suffering, nature, and communication, drawing inspiration from his own life on a New Hampshire farm. Read these poems and discover for yourself why Frost is one of the most enduring poetic voices of the twentieth century.…mehr

Robert Frost was born in San Francisco on March 26, 1874. When he was ten, his father died and he and his mother moved to New England. He attended school at Dartmouth and Harvard, worked in a mill, taught, and took up farming, before he moved to England, where his first books of poetry, A Boy's Will (1913) and North of Boston (1914), were published. North of Boston brought him recognition as the preeminent voice of New England and as one of America's major poets. In 1915 he returned to the United States and settled on a farm in New Hampshire. He has published 28 poetry collections, 4 plays, 7 prose collections. Four volumes of his poetry, New Hampshire (1923), Collected Poems (1930), A Further Range (1936), and A Witness Tree (1942) were all awarded the Pulitzer Prize. He died in Boston on January 29, 1963.
