The Late Walk | Robert Frost | Poetry Red Aloud | Immersive Sleep Stories Podcast

A Late Walk was published in 1915, one of Robert Frost’s first successful poetry collections, A Boy’s Will. During this time, Frost had moved back to America from England, away from his family because of the First World War. The sense of sadness that fills each line of this work could be an allusion to Frost’s own sadness — for he suffered both from and by depression for much of his life — and it could also stem from his sudden isolation in an unfamiliar place. If winter happened to be falling at the same time, the poem may as well have written itself. Many of the poems in A Boy’s Life were considered by Frost to be autobiographical in nature as well first successful poetry collections, A Boy’s Will.
