Robert Frost
Robert Frost (1874-1963) was the most celebrated poet in America for most of the 20th century. Although chiefly associated with the life and landscapes of New England, his work embodies penetrating and often dark explorations of universal themes.
New Hampshire features Frost's meditations on rural life, love, and death, delivered in the voice of a soft-spoken New Englander. Critics have long marveled at the poet's gift for capturing the speech of the region's natives and his realistic evocations of the area's landscapes. This compilation, first published in 1923, earned Frost the first of his four Pulitzer Prizes and includes several of his best-known poems: "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening", "Nothing Gold Can Stay", and "Fire and Ice", as well as verse based on such traditional songs as "I Will Sing You One-O".
Winner of the 1924 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry.

As always Frost’s poetry can send me into the woods or listening for the birdsongs that he mentions.
The narrator did a good job. I was surprised that there was mention about the internet and such - obviously not done by Mr Frost but added by some editor ( not mentioned) since the book was originally printed in 1924
Nice to hear Frost’s poetry

New Hampshire by Robert Frost

"New Hampshire" has gotten good reviews because it does a good job of representing the people of that state at the time he was writing. There are characters of woodsmen and the working class, and I think many people who enjoy authors like Jack London and Laura Ingalls Wilder would enjoy this set of poems. I just didn't feel like these poems were deep or insightful in the way I prefer poetry to be, but I recognize the straight forward approach Robert Frost has to poetry makes his work accessible to many who would not otherwise choose to read poetry. There was one or two poems that included instances of animal abuse in a logger/Paul Bunyan type of way, like you would see in the movie "Spirit", so while I get that this kind of thrashing beasts of burden was accepted in the late 19th to early 20th centuries, it still disturbed me.
Overall, I respect Robert Frost as a renown American poet and I am glad that his works are still classic and spread widely today. However, I did not personally enjoy these stories a lot, and do not think I will want to listen to them again. I also felt that these poems might be more nostalgic to those who currently or have lived in New Hampshire, which I have not.

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.
