Robert Frost es uno de los poetas fundamentales de la poesía norteamericana del siglo XX. Sus poemas vivos, fuertes, abiertos y, al mismo tiempo, simbólicos, misteriosos, elevados, no sólo lo han hecho un poeta reconocido por otros poetas, sino un autor con un publico lector muy amplio. Su fuerza lirica, como su propia vida cotidiana, nos ofrece un entrelazamiento de las percepciones de los ciclos de la naturaleza y de los movimientos del espiritu. Agricultor y academico, Frost creo una obra animada en el aliento, en la respiracion de las cosas esenciales de la vida del hombre. Su obra poetica nunca perdio originalidad y fuerza. Cuatro veces fue ganador del Premio Pulitzer.

Robert Frost, considerado uno de los fundadores de la poesía moderna en su país, fue siempre reticente a que se publicaran sus escritos en prosa, a pesar de reconocer que la prosa permite decir mucho de lo que no puede decirse en poesia y que algunos de sus escritos incluso podian hacer la competencia a su poesia.El presente volumen ofrece por primera vez al lector en lengua hispa-na la posibilidad de apreciar las incursiones del gran poeta americano fuera de la poesia en una muestra altamente representativa del mejor Frost prosista. Los dieciocho textos que componen la antologia dibujan un arco cronologico que va de 1923 a 1959, es decir, del principio al final de su larga carrera , ponen de manifiesto la versatilidad de su pro-sa, desde la concentracion expresiva del aforismo hasta la expansividad formalista del discurso politico de gala.Mediante la diversidad tematica, las Prosas, nos permiten apreciar la infinita curiosidad intelectual y humana de Frost cuando tocaba mate-rias tan dispares como la poesia, la ciencia, la politica o la filosofia, y en todos ellos el lector encontrara la explicitacion matizada de la originali-sima teoria poetica que marca toda su obra.El mejor conocimiento que tenemos hoy de la obra y la figura humana del gran poeta americano, al cual hemos querido contribuir con esta edicion de las Prosas, prologada y anotada por D. Samuel Abrams, no hacen sino incrementar el interes de su obra, la riqueza de la figura humana de Frost y la importancia de su influencia sobre las futuras generaciones de poetas

John F. Kennedy said of Robert Frost: "He has bequeathed his nation a body of imperishable verse from which Americans will forever gain joy and understanding." A four-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize for poetry, Frost created a new poetic language that has a deep and timeless resonance. In addition to Robert Frost''s first three books, this collection includes eighteen early poems that did not appear in his eleven books of poetry and have rarely been reprinted. Some of these express the idealism of youth inspired by heroic figures of the past. Others are love poems to Elinor White, whom he married in 1895. This book features a deluxe cover, ribbon marker, top stain, and decorative endpapers with a nameplate.

On Maui, Hawaii, two brothers, 12-year-old Akoni and 10-year-old Micah, both stand up paddle boarders, modify an ocean-going kayak to be a stand up paddle kayak. This starts their adventure to paddle the kayak to Molokai, the nearby island where their native Hawaiian grandmother lives. Their crossing is adventurous as they encounter dangerous currents and playful dolphins. They learn from their grandmother that their grandfathers many generations back were Kahunas, spiritual leaders and healers. This information inspires Akoni to think about being a Kahuna, too. On their return trip to Maui, currents and strong wind forces them out to sea beyond Maui, where they have to deal with life threatening events. Will the boys survive?

SOMETHING there is that doesnt love a wall, That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it, And spills the upper boulders in the sun; And makes gaps even two can pass abreast. The work of hunters is another thing: I have come after them and made repair Where they have left not one stone on a stone, But they would have the rabbit out of hiding, To please the yelping dogs. The gaps I mean, No one has seen them made or heard them made, But at spring mending-time we find them there.

ONE of my wishes is that those dark trees, So old and firm they scarcely show the breeze, Were not, as twere, the merest mask of gloom, But stretched away unto the edge of doom. I should not be withheld but that some day Into their vastness I should steal away, Fearless of ever finding open land, Or highway where the slow wheel pours the sand. I do not see why I should eer turn back, Or those should not set forth upon my track To overtake me, who should miss me here And long to know if still I held them dear. They would not find me changed from him they knew Only more sure of all I thought was true.
