Own a piece of American literary history with this 1965 seventh printing of In the Clearing, the final collection of poetry published during Robert Frost's lifetime. Released by Holt, Rinehart and Winston, this volume was originally published on Frost’s 88th birthday, just months before his death in 1963. This significant collection includes the poem "For John F. Kennedy His Inauguration," which Frost composed for the 1961 presidential inauguration, as well as "The Gift Outright," the poem he famously recited from memory during the ceremony.
Measuring 9 1/4" by 6 1/4", this 101-page hardcover serves as a poignant conclusion to the career of one of America's most beloved poets. Known for his deep connection to rural New England, Frost uses this final volume to explore philosophical and metaphysical themes, musing on aging and human nature with his trademark blend of plainspoken honesty and sharp observation. The book is in good condition but shows its age through honest shelf wear; the dust jacket is in rough shape with visible tearing, and there is a previous owner's name written on the inside cover.
This item is vintage, over 60 years old. While it appears to be in good condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw, I would reach out prior to sending it.
