After a sojourn in England where his first two books were published to critical acclaim, he returned to New England, acquired a new farm and became a rustic for much of the rest of his life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Frost claimed that all of his poetry was farm poetry. His deep admiration for Virgil's \u003ci\u003eGeorgics\u003c\/i\u003e, or poems of rural life, inspired the creation of his own New England \"georgics,\" his answer to the haughty 20th-century modernism that seemed certain to define the future of Western poetry. Like the \"West-Running Brook\" in his poem of the same name, Frost's poetry can be seen as an embodiment of contrariness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Monteiro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786497890\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786497898\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/11\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"George Monteiro","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44070833160447,"sku":"9780786497898","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_26bca107-6ab2-4b32-91e4-2275067b210c.jpg?v=1685432597","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/robert-frosts-poetry-of-rural-george-monteiro-9780786497898","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
