About this ebook

Robert Frost published New Hampshire, his fourth book of poetry, in 1923. The centerpiece is the long poem “New Hampshire,” an ode to the state. Endnotes on its lines point to shorter poems in the “Notes” section, and the book is capped with “Grace Notes,” a series of short lyrics—some of which are among Frost’s most famous works. The poems are each a meditative brushstroke of Americana, presented in Frost’s trademark plain-spoken but carefully considered verse. The collection went on to win the 1924 Pulitzer prize for poetry, the first of four Frost would go on to receive.

Included in this book is “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening,” “Fire and Ice,” and “Nothing Gold Can Stay.”

A picturesque word tour through the Granite State As a rule, I don't seek out poetry but, as #newhampshire by #robertfrost won the #1924 #pulitzerprizeforpoetry , it falls under my #pulitzerprizereadingchallenge and, in all honestly, it was lovely. Downloading the work onto #audible as well as having an ebook version in which to read along on my walks, I found his descriptions of the people and places of that lovely and sparsely populated founding state a delight. While the collection includes "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening," arguably his most famous poem, I was particularly moved by, "For ET", written in honor of fellow poet #edwardthomas , who was killed at the #battleofarras in #worldwari . I also enjoyed the longer piece #twowitches as well as #thekitchenchimney which was a.simple but elegant piece with a subtle tribute to #henrydavidthoreau . Overall, it is a wonderful and completely accessible book of poetry dedicated to a beautiful place that captured Frost's heart.
