Dedicated to Edward Thomas, a friend of Frost's and an important English poet who died toward the end of the First World War, \u003ci\u003eSelected Poems\u003c\/i\u003e is a wonderful sampling of poems from Frost's early collections, including \u003ci\u003eA Boy's Will\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eNorth of Boston\u003c\/i\u003e. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis edition of Robert Frost's \u003ci\u003eSelected Poems\u003c\/i\u003e is a classic of American literature reimagined for modern readers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSince our inception in 2020, \u003cb\u003eMint Editions\u003c\/b\u003e has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.
