The story of Robert Frost's career as a breeder and fancier of hens & the texts of eleven long-forgotten prose contributions by the poet, which appeared in two New England poultry journals in 1903-05, during his years of farming at Derry, New Hampshire

A surprising discovery of eleven prose pieces contributed by Robert Frost in two New England poultry journals a decade before his first book is presented here with commentary by the two experts responsible for this significant literary "find." They reprint the full texts of the essays from issues of magazines exceedingly hard to come by and evidently unique in some instances. Indeed, Frost's Eastern Poultryman and Farm-Poultry contributions were largely unknown to both bibliographers and biographers. They show him as an engaging spinner of lively tales and humorous homilies on a subject area that readers of his poems will recognize immediately as the background for "The Housekeeper," "A Blue Ribbon at Amesbury," and others. Scholars and critics can study here the young poet's workshop for producing cadences and speech rhythms of the Yankee idiom, later applied so effectively in Robert Frost's verse. The editors in a long introduction and detailed notes bring forward many new suggestions and additional information about America's greatest and most-beloved man of letters at this heretofore sparsely-documented period of his life.
