Abstract

In Robert Frost’s oeuvre the poetry book or volume is an important unit or scale for the composition, reception, and interpretation of poetry, but its formal parameters and generic conventions have been understudied. Focusing on the arrangement of poems within Frost’s first five books, and then their eventual derangement in his first Collected Poems, I examine Frost’s conflicting convictions on the question of the independence of each individual poem versus the coherence of several in an integrated collection.
