(FROST, Robert.) Several Short Poems. Inscribed by Robert Frost to Joseph Frost.
A Limited Edition Pamphlet; 1 of 2,000 copies printed, 8vo. (5.75*9 inches), featuring two woodcut illustrations from Robert Frost's longtime friend and collaborator J.J. Lankes, containing six poems including "The Pasture" and "Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening", 4 pp., original envelope. Published by Henry Holt and Company (New York), 1924.
This copy was gifted and inscribed by Robert Frost to his cousin Joseph frost. The inscription by Robert Frost to the cover page reads, "This was what some went campaigning with in Maine many years ago. RF to JF." Scarce thus, inscribed with this noteworthy association.
Some minor toning, a little foxing to the edges; a very good example.
This limited edition pamphlet was handed out during several of Robert Frost's lectures at colleges along the East Coast, likely what he references in the inscription where he mentions a "campaign in Maine". The collection's cover poem, "The Pasture", was originally published as the introduction to North of Boston (1914) and invites the reader to enjoy the rebirth of spring and to take pleasure in pastoral scenes. It has since become an introductory staple of every Robert Frost publication, emphasising that the reader "come too" in his journey through rural life.
Joseph William Pepperrell Frost (1923-2008) was an avid historian and writer from Maine who, throughout his life, would share a close bond with his cousin Robert. With about fifty years between them, the two first met when Joseph was a young boy during Robert and Elinor's visit to the Frost ancestral home in the late 1920s. Later, Joseph's college years would be marked with frequent visits to stay with his cousin, even accompany Robert to some of his many speaking engagements. In adulthood, he dedicated part of his time to researching and compiling records related to Frost family genealogy, a collection of which is now housed within the Portsmouth Athenaeum of New Hampshire.
