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.
