Publisher, Harper Audio/Caedmon (July 2000)

"For those who love poetry---and those who would----here's a horn of plenty." --Changing Times, The Kiplinger Magazine

". . . he speaks with a purposeful cadence, full of New England practicality and resolve." --Philadelphia Inquirer

"The truth is that Frost was the first American who could be honestly reckoned a master-poet by world standards." --Robert Graves

To characterize Robert Frost's poetry is to speak of his mastery of not one voice by many voices, and that is most apparent when he is heard reading his poems aloud. He portrays men and women of rural New England and differentiates among them, giving them real feelings and real utterances. A rare and wonderful recording, the first cassette contains:

The Road Not Taken
Birches
Mending Wall
Death of a Hired Man
and many more, recorded in May 1956 at Frost's home in Cambridge, where ebullient spirits, rural quiet and a feeling that this was to be the definitive Frost recording influence the fine vitality of this reading. Frost's diversity is also evident on the second of two cassettes in this collection, which includes Frost's readings at The Poetry Center of the 92nd Street YM-YWHA in 1950, 1951, and 1952, including:

Fire and Ice
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

and dozens more.
