Description
Robert Frost published A Boy's Will in 1913, his first book of poems. Frost was an American farmer and teacher who had moved to England. The poems speak in a young man's voice about nature, love, and finding his own path. Into My Own and Storm Fear are among the best-known pieces.
Many poems pair a plain scene with a quiet doubt or hope. Frost uses traditional forms but a fresh, spoken tone. The book won notice in England and helped launch his career back home. Readers can hear his later themes starting here: work, weather, isolation, and choice. It is a modest and lovely debut.
