Abstract

The term poetry itself signifies as the greatest, innovative, imaginative, artistic and stylistic form of expression. Todays world is called digital world because of its rapid growth and development in technology and discovery. As we are very well aware of the fact that the poetry has been the source of the healthy food for now and then. Its fragrance energises our brain and makes it fresh and alive even in this digital world where we are completely lost in earning and making our life luxurious and comfortable. Despite the above facts, poetry still stands supreme and sublime in its own beauty and charm where we can express our innermost feelings and emotions through a limited amount of golden words which touch the beauty of our soul and hearts. It is very tough task for a poet to make alive its stylistic and artistic beauty in this post-modern era but still an artist and a poet creates something extra ordinary which makes impossible possible by fetching a garland of pearls from the depth of ocean to give a new and innovative mode of expression. Robert Frost is a great modern poet. He is the contemporary of T S Eliot W B Yeats, W H Auden, Ezra Pound etc. There is a controversy among a series of critics who interpret or misinterpret Frost. Some critics like Granville Hicks, William van O cannon think that Frost is not a modern-day poet but a traditional poet because his poetry manifests his traditional inheritance of American civilization. Granville Hicks while discussing the modern elements of Frost poetry says: Frost has bound himself to a literary tradition that is out of fashion and has lost its meaning in modern texts.
