Product Description




These core conversations between Peter Stanlis and RobertFrost occurred during 1939-1941. They are writtenin the much larger context of nearly a quarter century offriendship that ended only with the passing of Frost in1963. These discussions provide a unique window of opportunityto appreciate the sources of Frost’s philosophicalvisions, as well as his poetic interests. The discussionsbetween Stanlis and Frost were held between six consecutivesummers (1939-1944), when Stanlis was a student atthe Bread Loaf Graduate School of English. These wereaugmented by additional exchanges at Bread Loaf in1961-1962. These conversations provide original insightson important subjects common to both men.



Frost insisted that it was impossible to make a completeor final unity out of the conflicts between spirit and matter.Ordinary empirical experience and rational discursivereason and logic could not harmonize basic conflicts.He held that the best method to ameliorate apparentcontradictions in dualistic conflicts was through the"play" of metaphorical thinking and feeling. Metaphorsincluded parables, allegories, fables, images, symbols,irony, and the forms and techniques of poetry such asrhyme, rhythm, assonance, dissonance, personifications,and connotations.



These are the arsenal from which poets draw theirinsightful metaphors, but such metaphors are also thecommon property of every normal person. A poem is "amomentary stay against confusion," a form of revelationfor "a clarification of life," but not a final, absolute answerto the mysteries and complexities in man’s life on Earth.So too-at their best-are science, religion, philosophy,education, politics, and scholarship as a means of amelioratinghuman problems. ...

Robert Frost
I always admired Mr. Frost's poetry, and met him in 1961 while I was in college at Amherst, Mass.I have an old worn, and tattered version of this book from that era that I replaced with this one. Some consider Mr. Frost to be a New England poet, but many people have now discovered in his poetry universal themes crafted for expression by the persona of a Yankee farmer, a profession by the way that Mr. Frost never suceeded in despite the fact that he owned several farms during his lifetime.He was also greatly admired in England where he lived for a time.
This is a great book to have that covers many of major works. ... Read more

Aglow in the Spirit
Well written and very matter of fact about how we can interact with the Holy Spirit.

Product Description
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." ... Read more

great for poetry phobes
I am studying American poetry and have always felt shaky about analyzing poets and their works. I like this book because it's more in depth than Cliff Notes and more sophisticated. It alsopointed me toward more stuffthan the net did. The biography of Frost was really helpful. ... Read more
