North of Boston

ROBERT FROST. Henry Holt & Co.

A volume of poems that has been heralded far and wide as something, new and distinctive in American poetry is "North of Boston by Robert Frost, a student at Dartmouth in 1892-93. Mr. Frost is also the author of "A Boy's Will." This volume together with "North of Boston" was first published in England where they received a great deal of attention. Mr. Frost stayed at Dartmouth only during his freshman year. While here he wrote more or less and spent a good deal of time tramping about the country. In a personal letter he says: "Much of what I enjoyed at Dartmouth was acting like an Indian in a college founded for Indians." The poems in "North of Boston" contain local allusions to places in New Hampshire and Vermont, as Woodsville and Bow in the former state, Lake Willoughby and Lunenberg in the latter state.

Mr. C. E. Griffith 'l5 in the first number of The Third Rail well says: "No poems have ever been more distinctively of New England than these bits of verse. Mr. Frost's work is photographic in its realism; he tells what he has seen. He draws the uncompromising New Englander in his grim simplicity; in simple words, often harsh."
