Author of more than twenty books of poems, among them For My Brother, Of China and Of Greece, Good News, McKeever Bridge, The Buffalo Shoot, A Day in the World, and Village Journal, Greg Kuzma has penned Robert Frost: Six Essays in Appreciation, the culmination of a life-long, affectionate study of the Modern American poet, Robert Frost. Kuzma, who recently retired from the English and creative writing faculty at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, provides 21st Century readers both a reintroduction to and a sensitive and enduring commentary of Frost's poetic craft and music. Kuzma offers new points of observation toward reading Frost, and his critical expertise teaches us well-as he taught Frost to his students over the years-why the poet still persists, why his poetry remains necessary. Robert Frost: Six Essays in Appreciation is a significant contribution to an ongoing dialogue on Frost and on American poetics.
