This is a lovely gift and coffee table book.This book starts with Spring and gives poetry and exquisite photography about Robert Frosts poems for each season. According to my trusty and well worn Concise Oxford Dictionary "exquisite" means "of consummate excellence or beauty". I looked the word up because it was the word that came to mind whilst enjoying this work. Much pleasure to return to many familiar poems of Robert Frost eg MENDING WALL and STOPPING BY WOODS ON A SNOWY EVENING and to discover unfamiliar gems such as BEYOND WORDS. But the photos too have a clarity and depth and composition not to mention color which helps the contemplative richness of Robert Frost's words. And not a human in sight! Especially rewarding work for those moments of repose, of calm, when one wants to escape the hurly burly, the flim flam, the gibbering and bustle, and drift, dissolving into the natural world.
