Robert Frost is somewhat unknown to British readers, but in the States he os regarded as their Poet Laureate. I first came upon ohm in Cambridge in the 60's wan he spoke to students about his poetry and have been devoted to him since then. His poetry is based on his life in rural Vermont, but there is often an allegorical philosophy latent in the words. His poems are easy to read and the story lines are interesting, and the poetry has rhythm and rhyme, which add to the ease of understanding.to visit his grave in the churchyard in Bennington and to listen to an American recite " a Walk in the Woods in Winter" was for me an uplifting experience.
