Robert Frost byl jedním z nejoblíbenějších amerických básníků 20. století, známý svou drsnou, náladovou a úspornou, přesto hlubokou poetikou. Frost se proslavil svými pastorálními obrazy venkovské Nové Anglie, často zdobenými tradičními rýmy a metrem, které ostře kontrastovaly s dobovým volným veršem. Jeho charakteristický, úsporný hlas formoval moderní chápání venkovského života a zkoumal témata izolace, přírody a lidské volby. Jeho dílo rezonuje s čtenáři díky své přístupnosti a zároveň hluboké filozofické rezonanci, což z něj činí trvalou postavu americké literatury.
Výbor z díla českému čtenáři dosud málo známého amerického básníka, jenž se stal na rodném kontinentu klasikem již za svého života (1874–1963).
Zařazením se R. Frost formálně nejvíce blížil modernistům, ačkoli zpracovával výhradně přírodní až rustikální témata, čehož je nový výbor dokladem. Je jisté, že pod kůží básníka ptačího zpěvu a lesního klidu tepe vášeň a nejistá rozdvojenost člověka 20. století. Osamělá sveřepá cesta amerického autora, jenž si mimo jiné poezií dokázal vydělat na slušné živobytí, stále zůstává významným milníkem hodným zamyšlení. Výbor je doprovázen stylovými tušovými kresbami L. Regnera a paralelním textem anglického originálu.

Výbor z veršů významného amerického básníka, opírající se zejména o sbírky Na sever od Bostonu, Horské údolí, Nový Hampshire, Potok tekoucí na západ. Frost opustil své městské povolání a odešel na venkov, splynul s ním a stal se básníkem prosté krásy venkova, vztahů člověka k přírodě a darů každodenního života. Ve svých verších prakticky uplatňoval zásadu, že „každá báseň má začít okouzlením a končit v moudrosti“.
"Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" is a poem written in 1922 by Robert Frost, and published in 1923 in his New Hampshire volume. Imagery, personification, and repetition are prominent in the work. The text of the poem describes the thoughts of a lone wagon driver (the speaker), pausing at night in his travel to watch snow falling in the woods. It ends with him reminding himself that, despite the loveliness of the view, "I have promises to keep, / And miles to go before I sleep." Description source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoppin...

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference."These deceptively simple lines from the title poem of this collection suggest Robert Frost at his most representative: the language is simple, clear and colloquial, yet dense with meaning and wider significance. Drawing upon everyday incidents, common situations and rural imagery, Frost fashioned poetry of great lyrical beauty and potent symbolism. Originally published in 1916 under the title Mountain Interval.
Robert Frost is one of the most widely read, well loved, and misunderstood of modern writers. In his day, he was also an inveterate note-taker, penning thousands of intense aphoristic thoughts, observations, and meditations in small pocket pads and school theme books throughout his life. These notebooks, transcribed and presented here in their entirety for the first time, offer unprecedented insight into Frost's complex and often highly contradictory thinking about poetics, politics, education, psychology, science, and religion--his attitude toward Marxism, the New Deal, World War--as well as Yeats, Pound, Santayana, and William James. Covering a period from the late 1890s to early 1960s, the notebooks reveal the full range of the mind of one of America's greatest poets. Their depth and complexity convey the restless and probing quality of his thought, and show how the unruliness of chaotic modernity was always just beneath his appearance of supreme poetic control. Edited by preeminent Frost scholar Robert Faggen and annotated to help readers with the poet's more elusive references, the notebooks are also thoroughly cross-referenced, marking thematic connections within these and Frost's other writings, including his poetry, letters, and other prose. This is a major new addition to the canon of Robert Frost's writings.
