North of Boston

Published in London in 1914 and in New York the following year, Frost's second collection of poetry quickly became a bestseller and helped to establish Frost as a poetic force of reckoning. As critic Louis Untermeyer noted, "Frost found his full utterance and himself" in North of Boston, and influential Modernist poet Ezra Pound observed in a 1914 review of the volume that "[Frost's] stuff sticks in your head - not his words, not his phrases, not his cadences, but his subject matter." This first edition of the groundbreaking collection not only contains noteworthy poems like "Mending Wall," "The Death of the Hired Man," and "After Apple-Picking," but also includes a personal inscription to an early owner from the poet himself.
