What does /lit/ think about Robert Frost? I know he's basically

Outside his core works he's enjoyable. He's mostly highschool core because he works on such an unadorned level it's easy to simplify. He's a very comfy read.

He's fantastic. He has a simple surface, but when you read him under the surface, and start linking his poems together, he gets better and better.

Unlike the other modernist he hid his erudition in his poem instead of laying it bare on the surface.
He was a poet who wanted to write poems not just for other elitely educated poets, but also for the common man. That's what makes his poems so great, they can be enjoyed on a surface level by Plebs as well as deeper levels by patricians.
The only people that don't like him are the people in the middle that are too knowledgeable to enjoy the surface but not knowledgeable enough to dive deeper.

He is also one of the few modernists that mostly wrote in metered verse, and his meter is expertly used to emphasize the meaning and mood of the poem. His figurative language is done well, and not overdone. I love his use of synecdoche.

His pastoral poems are maximum comfy.

Good but Auden is better
