An American poet who stamped his genius on the English mind and memory.It was in England that his first volumes were published.It was from England that he sailed back across the Atlantic to his native land - which he had left unlauded and unknown - to certain immortality.Frost was then in his early forties.Now,in his 89th year (then 1962),laden with years and honours,acclaimed from the White House to the farthest outpost of the Western world as the master-poet of our time,these are the only poems he has published for fifteen years.They prove that the master has not lost his magic.
Four times a Pulitzer winner,Frost has been honoured by literary societies, colleges and universities throughout the world.The United States Senate adopted a resolution of felicitation of his 75th birthday and in 1958 he was appointed Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress.At the Inauguration of President John Kennedy he was given the unprecedented honour of reciting his poem, "The Gift Outright" - included here,in this anthology (pp28).
