{"product_id":"9781513269559","title":"Selected Poems (Mint Editions)","description":"Selected Poems (1923) is a collection of poems by American poet Robert Frost. Dedicated to Edward Thomas, a friend of Frost's and an important English poet who died toward the end of the First World War, Selected Poems is a wonderful sampling of poems from Frost's early collections, including A Boy's Will and North of Boston. Known for his plainspoken language and dedication to the images and rhythms of rural New England, Robert Frost is one of America's most iconic poets, a voice to whom generations of readers have turned in search of beauty, music, and life. \"Mowing\" envisions the poet's work through the prism of rural labor. \"There was never a sound beside the wood but one \/ And that was my long scythe whispering to the ground. \/ What was it it whispered?\" The speaker does not know, but continues his task, hypnotized by its rhythm and simple music. In \"After Apple-Picking,\" as fall gives over to winter, the poet remembers in dreams how the \"Magnified apples appear and disappear, \/ Stem end and blossom end\" as he climbs the ladder into the heart of the tree. Both a symbol for life and a metaphor for the poetic act, apple picking leaves the poet \"overtired \/ Of the great harvest [he himself] desired\", awaiting sleep as he describes \"its coming on,\" wondering what, if anything, it will bring. \"The Road Not Taken,\" perhaps Frost's most famous poem, is a meditation on fate and free will that follows a traveler in an autumn landscape, unsure of which path to take, but certain he cannot stand still. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Robert Frost's Selected Poems is a classic of American literature reimagined for modern readers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eRobert Browning, Mint Editions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eMint Editions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eJanuary 12, 2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e168 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e1513269550\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781513269559\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mint Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49141699608881,"sku":"9781513269559","price":12.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9781513269559__90366_20bbb09d-0c02-4e40-8525-31220395c9b5.jpg?v=1716125486","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781513269559","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
