To celebrate his first publication, Frost had a book of six poems privately printed; two copies of Twilight were made—one for himself and one for his fiancee. Over the next eight years, however, he succeeded in having only 13 more poems published. During this time, Frost sporadically attended Dartmouth and Harvard and earned a living teaching school and, later, working a farm in Derry, New Hampshire. Holt put out an American edition of North of Boston in , and periodicals that had once scorned his work now sought it.
Kennedy in , Frost was given the unprecedented honor of being asked to read a poem. Though Frost allied himself with no literary school or movement, the imagists helped at the start to promote his American reputation. Poetry: A Magazine of Verse published his work before others began to clamor for it.
It is not post-Miltonic or post-Swinburnian or post Kiplonian. This man has the good sense to speak naturally and to paint the thing, the thing as he sees it. Like the monologues and dialogues, these short pieces have a dramatic quality. This poem refers to a brook which perversely flows west instead of east to the Atlantic like all other brooks. In a time when all kinds of insanity are assailing the nations it is good to listen to this quiet humor, even about a hen, a hornet, or Square Matthew.
His politics and religious faith, hitherto informed by skepticism and local color, became more and more the guiding principles of his work. He had become a public figure, and in the years before his death, much of his poetry was written from this stance.

In October, , President John F. That strength takes many forms and the most obvious forms are not always the most significant. Our national strength matters; but the spirit which informs and controls our strength matters just as much. This was the special significance of Robert Frost. A critical edition of his Collected Prose was published in to broad critical acclaim. A multi-volume series of his Collected Letters is now in production, with the first volume appearing in and the second in Robert Frost continues to hold a unique and almost isolated position in American letters.
Taking his symbols from the public domain, Frost developed, as many critics note, an original, modern idiom and a sense of directness and economy that reflect the imagism of Ezra Pound and Amy Lowell. It begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a loneliness. It is never a thought to begin with. It is at its best when it is a tantalizing vagueness. Waggoner observed, Frost also upheld T.
Most of my ideas occur in verse. To be too subjective with what an artist has managed to make objective is to come on him presumptuously and render ungraceful what he in pain of his life had faith he had made graceful. At the same time, his adherence to meter, line length, and rhyme scheme was not an arbitrary choice. Drawing his language primarily from the vernacular, he avoided artificial poetic diction by employing the accent of a soft-spoken New Englander. Frost has reproduced both people and scenery with a vividness which is extraordinary. He stays as clear of religion and mysticism as he does of politics.
To critic M. Yet, just as Frost is aware of the distances between one man and another, so he is also always aware of the distinction, the ultimate separateness, of nature and man. His is still the modern mind in search of its own meaning. As Frost portrays him, man might be alone in an ultimately indifferent universe, but he may nevertheless look to the natural world for metaphors of his own condition. Thus, in his search for meaning in the modern world, Frost focuses on those moments when the seen and the unseen, the tangible and the spiritual intersect.
John T. Poetry provides the one permissible way of saying one thing and meaning another. Unless you are at home in the metaphor, unless you have had your proper poetical education in the metaphor, you are not safe anywhere. Poets lend voices to current events and elections as they critique and defend the social and political issues of their day.
