Description
Robert Frost published New Hampshire in 1923, and it won the first Pulitzer Prize ever given for poetry. The long title poem is a loose, talkative tour of his adopted state. Frost had settled in New Hampshire and Vermont after his years in England, and the state became his poetic ground.
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening, the book's most famous short poem, watches a man pause between a frozen lake and his promises. Fire and Ice weighs how the world might end in nine lines. Two Witches of Cousin County, Paul Bunyan tales in verse, and sharp lyrics fill out the volume. New Hampshire confirmed Frost as America's best-loved living poet, a reputation he kept for forty years.
