Overview
Mountain Interval (1916) is a collection of poems by American poet Robert Frost. Having gained success with his first two collections, both published in London, Frost returned home to New Hampshire and completed his third volume, Mountain Interval. The book opens with āThe Road Not Taken,ā and though this would become Frostās most famous poem, the collection is not defined by it. Here we find the hallmarks of Frostās work: rural landscapes, dramatic monologues, and subtle meditations on the meanings of life and art. This is Frost at the height of his power, a poetry that speaks as much and as often as it listens.
āThe Road Not Takenā is a meditation on fate and free will that follows a traveler in an autumn landscape, unsure of which path to take, but certain he cannot stand still. Often summarized using only its final two linesāāI took the one less traveled by, / And that has made all the differenceāāFrostās poem refuses such neat categorization. Far from simple praise of independence, āThe Road Not Takenā examines the anxiety of choice, the psychic response to the uncertainty that precedes even the simplest decision. In āBirches,ā Frost recalls his childhood fondness for climbing trees, raising himself from the ground āTo the top branches,ā only to fling himself āoutward, feet firstā back to earth. Against the backdrop of adulthood, in which ālife is too much like a pathless wood,ā the poet recalls the simplicity and wonder of being a child in nature, no more and no less than āa swinger of birches.ā.
With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Robert Frostās Mountain Interval is a classic of American literature reimagined for modern readers.
