As one of the most iconic American poets, Robert Frost’s work has stood the test of time. Though born in California, Frost moved to New England at age eleven and came to identify himself as a New Englander. That self-identification would become a staple of his later works as he would invest “in the New England terrain” and make use of the “simplicity of his images” (Norton Anthology, p. 727) accompanied by uncomplicated writing to give his poems a more natural feel. Frost’s poems were generalized by certain types: nature lyrics, which described a scene or event, dramatic narratives or generalizations, and humorous or sardonic works.

Katasha Pollard Intro to Lit. Kelly Gamble 10/12/15 Robert Frost Robert Frost’s poems and stories bring him alive as a person and poet, showing him in the process of thinking through, reevaluating, and stating many of his most important beliefs, ideas, interpretations, and rhymes. The poems and stories are interesting in themselves. They show a noteworthy intelligence at work and provide access to the (typically hidden) processes underlying Frost’s pieces, as well as a set of his most important concerns.

Overall, Frost’s poems convey the messages that the rural world is in need of an experiential knowledge with nature and people just as much as other more urbanized settings. Frost’s work of “Birches” first shows his ability to simply discuss nature in its purest form. As an author, he is able to give a new life in his description of nature through extremely thorough descriptions and metaphors. “Soon the sun’s warmth makes them shed crystal shells/ Shattering and avalanching on the snow crust-”…
Literary Analysis of Design; Robert Frost’s Use of Literary Devices to Explore Religion Robert Frost was an extremely influential American poet who lived and wrote predominately in New England during the early 1900s. His poetry was considered exceptional, not only by his intellectual peers but by the general public as well, due to the fact that Frost often wrote about approachable topics.

In the poem Design, author…
