Robert Lee Frost (March26, 1874 January29, 1963) was an American poet. His work was initially published in England before it was published in the United States. Known for his realistic depictions of rural life and his command of American colloquial speech,[2] Frost frequently wrote about settings from rural life in New England in the early 20th century, using them to examine complex social and philosophical themes.Frequently honored during his lifetime, Frost is the only poet to receive four Pulitzer Prizes for Poetry. He became one of America's rare "public literary figures, almost an artistic institution".[3] He was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 1960 for his poetic works. On July 22, 1961, Frost was named poet laureate of Vermont. (Wikipedia) Later printing with "September, 1941" on the copyright page. Nº de ref. del artículo: 1269

First Edition. Octavo. First printing of this Pulitzer Prize winning collection of Frost's poems which includes all six of his best known books, and notably the poems in A Further Range. [1-4] 5-349 pages. Frost's manuscript poem on the front free endpaper which he has excerpted from his poem "Snow", signed and dated. In his first year at Bread Loaf, the poem was presented as a play at the Bread Loaf Little Theatre. He called this the most gratifying experience of his narrative poem presented as a play. He said that this puts the poem to the test where the sound is inextricably linked to the presentation in dramatic form. This copy has the bookplate of Richard and Charlotte Hogue. News reports in both the Washington Post and the now defunct Evening Star show Richard Hogue as a major advisor in government on social issues while Charlotte (usually referred to as Mrs. Richard Hogue) was President of the American Association of University of Women and also the President of the Washington, D.C. Poetry Group. She was also a joint author with John Ciardi in "Divergent Viewpoints of a Classic Poem". In this copy, Frost has now entitled the poem "A Cold Winter Storm" and has signed for the Hogues Mrs. Hogue's pencil notes on the rear endsheets note some of the key poems of Robert Frost. She also served on the committee with Eleanor Roosevelt and Judge Ben Lindsay on the dismissal of Dr. Carrie Weaver Smith from the National Training School for Girls. Dr. Smith's appeal for social justice met with both political and religious opposition. Also laid in is a postcard from a friend addressed to the Hogue home in Riverton, Virginia which reads "Dear C, of all things, omitted in my notes Mrs. Nichols went with me to the talk on the Whitman Editions, collectors and etc. (review marginal importance). Although it is not explicitly noted, the poetry group Charlotte Hogue presided over had Frost's daughter, Lesley Frost, as a judge in one of the poetry contests. Bound in beige cloth pictorially stamped in gilt blocked in dark brown depicting a home in gilt, spine lettered and decorated in brown and gilt, some toning or finger soiling to covers, small tape ghost to front pastedown, no foxing, in the very rare dust jacket which is chipped and worn with only front panel and flap along with rear flap present.

Hardcover. First Trade Edition. Crane A14.1: one of 3870 copies printed from the plates of the Random House limited edition. Winner of a Pulitzer Prize. Laid in on an unruled index card is a fair copy AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT of a poem, "A Time To Talk," completely in Frost's hand and SIGNED by him at the conclusion with the dedication "For (looks like George but we don't think so) Bush." A comparison to the poem, first printed in MOUNTAIN INTERVAL and here printed on page 156 reveals that Frost has added a line in the copy he has made. After "Blade-end up and five feet tall," Frost has added "Like a sunflower stalk," which is not included in the printed poem. A fine and scarce example of an altered holograph poem by Frost. Fine, lacking the uncommon dustwrapper. Nº de ref. del artículo: 010927
