“The more you read the more you are held, and when you return a
few days later to look up some passage that has followed you
about, the better you find the meat under the simple
unpretentious form. _The London Times_ caught that quality when
it said: ‘Poetry burns up out of it, as when a faint wind
breathes upon smouldering embers.’ ... That is precisely the
effect....”
REEDY’S MIRROR:
“Genuine poetry, these ‘North of Boston’ tales, they hold one
with the grip of a vivid novel.... I can only refer my readers to
‘North of Boston’ for acquaintance with what seems to me a fine
achievement; such achievement, indeed, as contributes vitally to
the greatness of a country’s most national and significant
literature.”
A BOY’S WILL Mr. Frost’s First Volume of Poetry
THE ACADEMY (LONDON):
“We have read every line with that amazement and delight which
are too seldom evoked by books of modern verse.”
