From the publication of his first volume of poetry in 1913 to his participation in the presidential inauguration of John F. Kennedy, Robert Frost and his poetry have epitomized the American affinity for plain speaking, nature, and the land. Now his poetry is accompanied by 65 breathtaking color photographs--grouped by season--that evoke this same tranquil beauty.

Out of print for 20 years, and with a first and only printing of 1,000 copies, this indispensible reference has been virtually unobtainable. Now available in a new edition, A Concordance to the Poetry of Robert Frost features a revised and expanded introduction by Edward Connery Lathem, Dean of Libraries and Librarian of the College, Emeritus, Dartmouth. The Concordance is based on the text of the standard collected Frost edition, "The Poetry of Robert Frost," also edited by Edward Lathem, which incorporates the text content of all Frost's poetry and is currently in its 18th printing. In the "Concordance," some 100,000 words of Frost's verse are indexed, giving immediate reference to every line of poetry in which the specified word appears. The computer-generated pages give the poem's title, the line number in the poem, and the page refrences to "The Poetry of Robert Frost." This indispensible reference is a valuable means of locating specific Frost quotations, word usages, and subject allusions for analyzing text. Library Journal called the original edition "a model concordance...the end product is of a blessedly manageable size, the typeface is small but easily read, and we have a rarity in hand...an attractive concordance."

A new edition with index added. This book consists of a selection of interviews spanning a period of nearly half a century: from 1915, the year Frost returned to America from England, through 1962, just a few weeks before his death. These interviews have a special importance. They present Frost informally, sometimes casually, yet always in the character of a performer--for performance was ever at the heart of what he aspired to as artist and man: the seeking of an attainment, a mastery, combining both substance and form. Within these interviews is found much of significance that is nowhere else preserved. They contain an invaluable documentation centering upon the life and thought of Frost: his views, impressions, and concepts at different times. The best of them capture and project his presence and manner with a directness and vividness that cannot be derived from his works alone nor from recordings of his readings and talks.
