Recensioner i media

"Hart did a great job of dramatizing the precariousness of Frost's life. The letters Hart found in various... new sources, combined with a close reading of many of Frost's poems, enable Hart to reveal Frost as a much more complicated person and poet than some critics and biographers believed."—Frank Schatz, The Virginia Gazette, May 3 2017
