Description
Robert Frost published Mountain Interval in 1916, his third book, after returning from England to a farm in New Hampshire. Frost was farming, teaching, and slowly becoming famous. The collection holds several of the poems on which his standing as America's poet was built.
The Road Not Taken sends a walker sighing over a choice of paths, in the most misread poem in American literature. Birches imagines a boy swinging down young trees toward earth from heaven. The Oven Bird asks what to make of a diminished thing. Frost's plain New England speech carries sly depth in every piece. The book made him a national figure.
