I have a  hard time grasping how anyone could read Frost’s North of Boston, 
all the way  past the “Greatest Hits” to frequently unread masterpieces of 
dramatic blank  verse, including “The Black Cottage,” “A Servant to Servants,” 
and “The  Generations of Men,” and come away convinced that Frost was a 
boring poet who  had nothing to contribute to the art of poetry in the 20th century.

Has  anyone read “The Bonfire” lately (from Mountain Interval)?  Do it out  
loud, and then tell me Frost is boring.
