Richard Poirier. Robert Frost: The Work of Knowing. New York: Oxford University Press, 1977. 322 + xvii pp. "Beloved" is a term that must always be mistrusted when applied to artists, and particularly to poets. Poets are likely to be beloved for only a few of the right reasons, and for almost all the wrong ones: for saying things we want to hear, for furnishing us with an image of ourselves that we enjoy believing in, even for living for a long time in the public eye and pronouncing sagely on current affairs. Robert Frost has been long admired for all these things, and is con- sequently one of the most misread writers in the whole of American literature
