Visiting Frost: Poems Inspired By The Life And Work Of Robert Frost is an anthology of poems by one hundred different poets in homage to four-time Pulitzer Prize winner poet Robert Frost (1874-1963), known for associating his work with the landscape and life in New England, and whose verse includes such famous works as "The Road Not Taken" and "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening". Each poet is given a one-paragraph biography at the end. The many brief poems assembled speak to different aspects of the character of Frost, who was often dark and intense in mood and writing. A treasury that reflects profoundly upon Frost's contributions to literature and our understanding of the human condition. A Farm in the Green Mountains: Stone upon stone / this weathered wall of stone / was built by men deviled by stone / from poor fields yielding mostly stone. // Stone upon stone / this Vermont wall of stone / was the sure employment of stone / in a place that is shaped by stone. // Stone upon stone / this ragged wall of stone / was a grudging tribute to stone / by farmers making peace with stone.
