This is essentially a descriptive bibliography of poems published in the separate volumes of Frost's work and poems that were published but never collected, published posthumously, or remain unpublished. Cramer also provides a brief appendix of poems considered doubtful and spurious. For a great many poems the author includes comments that Frost himself made about each in such sources as letters, interviews, and lectures. He also cites details from Frost's life that are relevant to particular poems. This may therefore serve as a useful complement to Mordecai Marcus's The Poems of Robert Frost (CH, Jul'91), which has very limited concern with these matters, instead concentrating on well-reasoned interpretations of poems in The Poetry of Robert Frost, ed. by Edward Connery Lathem (1969), the standard Frost collection. Recommended for upper-division undergraduate and graduate students. Indispensable for Frost studies. J. J. Patton Atlantic Community College
