A Boy’s Will and North of Boston
Although Robert Frost (1874?1963) wrote poetry throughout his youth and early adult years, his first collection of poems was not published until he was nearly 40 years old. And, ironically, it was not in America that this quintessentially American poet was first published, but in England. In 1912, he settled his family in Buckinghamshire, determining to devote his full life to poetry. In 1913, Frost published A Boy's Will, his first collection of poems. A series of sharply observed impressions of New England rural life touching upon universal themes, it included such poems as "Into My Own," "Asking for Roses," "Spoils of the Dead," and "Reluctance." A second volume, North of Boston, followed in 1914 and contained several of Frost's finest and best-known works: "Mending Wall," "After Apple-Picking," "The Death of the Hired Man," and others. Both volumes are reprinted here complete and unabridged ? a treasury of fine early verse by one of the 20th century's most admired poets.

Al Que Quiere! – a Book of Poems
William Carlos Williams was born in 1883 in New Jersey. His mother was Puerto Rican and his father was English. William was a true renaissance man. He became a doctor, specializing in pediatrics, and he was also a talented painter and poet. He traveled around the US and Europe, and lived for most of his life in New Jersey. Williams loved playing with language. He loved trying new things and seeing how they worked out. He experimented and tested. He thought of painting and poetry as intertwined, and maybe his learning and testing in his medical field influenced this as well. Williams brought a fresh, unusual breath to the world of poetry. He has inspired countless readers and poets throughout the years. Al Que Quiere! : a book of poems was published by Williams in 1917. He, in fact, "self-published" this - he paid $50 to the Four Seas Company in Boston to produce the book for him. Williams chose the title to mean "To Him Who Wants It." It refers to the idea of a soccer player - someone who actively wants to receive the ball. Williams was feeling as if his poetry was unappreciated and was hoping to find those curious recipients who would "receive the ball" from him. It would be another six years before Williams was ready with his famous work Spring and All. Few people read or appreciated Al Que Quiere! at the time of its publication. Still, it formed the starting path for a poet who soon would help inspire countless others. I hope you enjoy his poetry as much as I do. I'd love to hear your thoughts!
American Poetry 1922 – a Miscellany
PREFACE. THE Author of this very practical treatise on Scotch Loch - Fishing desires clearly that it may be of use to all who had it. He does not pretend to have written anything new, but to have attempted to put what he has to say in as readable a form as possible. Everything in the way of the history and habits of fish has been studiously avoided, and technicalities have been used as sparingly as possible. The writing of this book has afforded him pleasure in his leisure moments, and that pleasure would be much increased if he knew that the perusal of it would create any bond of sympathy between himself and the angling community in general. This section is interleaved with blank shects for the readers notes. The Author need hardly say that any suggestions addressed to the case of the publishers, will meet with consideration in a future edition. We do not pretend to write or enlarge upon a new subject. Much has been said and written-and well said and written too on the art of fishing but loch-fishing has been rather looked upon as a second-rate performance, and to dispel this idea is one of the objects for which this present treatise has been written. Far be it from us to say anything against fishing, lawfully practised in any form but many pent up in our large towns will bear us out when me say that, on the whole, a days loch-fishing is the most convenient. One great matter is, that the loch-fisher is depend- ent on nothing but enough wind to curl the water, -and on a large loch it is very seldom that a dead calm prevails all day, -and can make his arrangements for a day, weeks beforehand whereas the stream- fisher is dependent for a good take on the state of the water and however pleasant and easy it may be for one living near the banks of a good trout stream or river, it is quite another matter to arrange for a days river-fishing, if one is looking forward to a holiday at a date some weeks ahead. Providence may favour the expectant angler with a good day, and the water in order but experience has taught most of us that the good days are in the minority, and that, as is the case with our rapid running streams, -such as many of our northern streams are, -the water is either too large or too small, unless, as previously remarked, you live near at hand, and can catch it at its best. A common belief in regard to loch-fishing is, that the tyro and the experienced angler have nearly the same chance in fishing, -the one from the stern and the other from the bow of the same boat. Of all the absurd beliefs as to loch-fishing, this is one of the most absurd. Try it. Give the tyro either end of the boat he likes give him a cast of ally flies he may fancy, or even a cast similar to those which a crack may be using and if he catches one for every three the other has, he may consider himself very lucky. Of course there are lochs where the fish are not abundant, and a beginner may come across as many as an older fisher but we speak of lochs where there are fish to be caught, and where each has a fair chance. Again, it is said that the boatman has as much to do with catching trout in a loch as the angler. Well, we dont deny that. In an untried loch it is necessary to have the guidance of a good boatman but the same argument holds good as to stream-fishing...
