"The most highly esteemed American poet of the 20th century… [In 1957] T.S. Eliot toasted Frost as 'perhaps the most eminent, the most distinguished Anglo-American poet now living,' whose 'kind of local feeling in poetry… can go without universality: the relation of Dante to Florence… of Robert Frost to New England'" (ANB). This expanded selection of Frost's poems includes "Fire and Ice," "Nothing Gold Can Stay," and "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" among the fourteen poems not included in the 1923 Selected Poems.
