A superb biography that neatly weaves in nuanced and insightful readings of many poems. Plunkett’s first book begins with a discussion of Frost’s interest in having Lawrance Thompson, a young acquaintance who knew the popular poet’s work well, write his official biography, which he would do, in prize-winning volumes, portraying Frost (1874-1963) as an “ornery, erratic old man.” Plunkett then begins his own insightful, non-ornery biography.
