About this Item

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Robert Frost's A Boy's Will introduces the voice of one of the defining American poets: solitary, observant, rural, philosophical, and quietly exacting. In these early poems, Frost turns to woods, fields, weather, labour, loneliness, desire, and the difficult relation between self and society. The language is often plain, but the emotional movement is subtle: withdrawal and return, confidence and uncertainty, youthful independence and the need for human connection.The collection includes poems such as 'Into My Own,' 'Ghost House,' 'My November Guest,' 'Storm Fear,' 'Mowing,' and 'Reluctance,' showing Frost already working with the landscapes, cadences, and moral tensions that would shape his later reputation. Nature in these poems is never merely decorative. It is a testing ground for thought, feeling, solitude, and choice, rendered with the disciplined music and compressed force that made Frost both widely read and seriously studied.This Wilder Publications edition presents Frost's first book as a key work of American poetry and early twentieth-century literature. For readers interested in classic poetry, New England writing, nature poetry, rural life, literary modernism, and the development of Robert Frost's poetic career, A Boy's Will offers the beginning of a body of work that became central to American letters.
