The Road Not Taken, Birches, and Other Poems

by Robert Frost

Overview

"The Road Not Taken, Birches, and Other Poems" contains some of Frost's best-known, anthologized, and closely examined poems, such as "The Road Not Taken," "An Old Man's Winter Night," "Birches," and "'Out, Out---'." As a whole, the volume is a reflection on space and time, on the boundaries where city meets country, where humans meet nature, and where humans meet each other. In addition, his portraits of women---particularly "The Witch of Coös" and "Wild Grapes"---are among the finest and most complex in the English language. Like the speaker in "The Road Not Taken," these poems will continue to be read "somewhere ages and ages hence."

One of the most celebrated poets of the 20th century, Frost received four Pulitzer Prizes and many other awards. His first poetry collection, A Boy's Will, was published in 1913. Some of Robert Frost's most famous poems include "The Road Not Taken", "Fire and Ice", "Nothing Gold Can Stay", "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" and "Mending Wall".
