I have been using this as a required text in my grad courses on Frost here in Japan now for the last five years and I plan to continue doing so for the next five or more. My only complaint is that it is not available in an affordable paperback for my students... instead they must pay this high price... still, there is nothing else that covers Frost's poetry as well as Mordecai's explication.

Actually, I must be trusthful with all of you, that I have not read this book... However, I am farmiliar with the work of Robert Frost, and I would like to recognize it. I think he is a great poet.

Though I was disappointed to find that some of my interpretations of her poems had not been quite on the mark, I still enjoyed this book quite a bit. It helps the reader understand Dickinson's background, her unusual usage of words, and her poems themselves. I think that any lover of Dickinson's poems will find something interesting in this book.
