What does /lit/ think of Robert Frost?

One of the finest poets since Shakespeare.

Unreadable.

Along with whitman, great

great poet. more difficult than his style makes him out to be. /lit/ probably doesnt like him because everyone knows his name and he doesnt give you pretentious hipter points

The woods are lovely, dark and deep

Honestly I think he's kind of boring. He only writes one kind of poem

>>8941726
Agreed. His poems are deeper than they seem, but can be enjoyed even if you don't see the depth because of how comfy they are. This is why poets and laymen like him. People with a small knowledge of poetry don't like him because they aren't satisfied with the surface reading but can't see the full depth.

>His poems are deeper than they seem
In what way? I was under the impression that most of his poems were about loneliness and mortality

You need to think of his poems in connection with one another, anon. Frost is often writing about wildernesses reclaiming the world from man since they have moved on, and can be found developing in poems like 'Out, Out', 'The Census Taker', and even as early as 'Into My Own' and 'Stars'.

There's also poems about economics, psychology, philosophy, and mock Classical references that make up a richer discussion with the reader than even just about isolation and death.
