Edward Connery Lathem "The Poetry of Robert Frost" (Henry Holt and Co.)





Deep, meaningful poems and phrases describe this book in a nutshell. The poems are written beautifully.

Many poems and phrases in this book are melancholic, lugubrious, and optimistic, teaching life lessons throughout the book that inspires me to this day. These poems and phrases exceed today's media, explaining in a few, powerful words about war, and life choices. Robert Frost has a specific style of writing, using animals and nature to show deep symbolism. He does this in such a subtle way and surpasses what I believe his writing to be. Though other poets have done more of that style that I enjoy specifically more, his writings are classics, and always bring my spirits up.

Overall, a great book, though not everyone's cup of tea. The poems are beautiful in their own ways and should be recognized more than it truly is at this point. I highly recommend this book, especially to those who are going through a rough time or feeling down. His optimistic, moving words will inspire you, just as they have I so read some Frost. It is a great book to dip into.
