Poetry Collection Questions Anonymous 2017-05-05 09:30:38 Post No. 9469008 [Report]

If anyone here is an expert on published collections of Robert Frost's poetry, I have a question for you. I've recently purchased a copy of "The Poetry Of Robert Frost" hardcover edition, (This collection is published by Henry Holt, and Edited by Edward Connery Lathern.) And I realized that it's missing "Asking For Roses" from A Boy's Will. Now, this isn't my favorite poem from Frost, so it's not the biggest loss to me, but it does put into question whether this collection is actually missing any other good poems of his that I'm not yet aware of... The "Boys Will" from this hardcover collection contains 30 poems, but my Dover Thrift paperback copy of "A Boy's Will" totals 32 poems.

Does anyone know why this collection claims to be "complete works" but is missing poems?

I'd really appreciate any help with this.

bumping again. I'll let this thread die if no one's responding for a while, but if anyone knows anything that would be a huuuuge help. I can't find shit on these books online.

Where does it claim to be a Complete Works? The title only states that it's "The Poetry" of Robert Frost.

If you want a complete works, then look for one that says "The Complete Works/Poetry of Robert Frost". I think the Library of America edition is one of those.

Oh, forget about the first part, I looked up the edition you mentioned and it indeed claims to be a Complete Poetry Unabridged.

I still think that the Library of America edition is the one you should get.

Is that a selected or a collected? I'm pretty sure the collected contain all the poems. Selected do not.

It does claim inside to be the "complete unabridged version" of all of his collected books. I'll have to look into the Library of America Version. Thanks
