Miris jabuka / The Scent of Apples
A collection of one hundred selected poems by American poet Robert Frost. This bilingual anthology includes poems from all nine of Frost's collections, providing a comprehensive overview of the oeuvre of one of the most important poets of the 20th century
Frost's poetry is characterized by a traditional form, with an emphasis on rhythm and meter, which the poet himself compared to "playing tennis without a net" when it comes to free verse. His poems often contain lyrical descriptions of the New England countryside, but this pastoral calm serves as a backdrop for exploring complex human relationships and inner struggles. Frost deals with themes such as loss, chaos, and meaninglessness, and his poems present "a picture of the will grappling with strange disorder" in search of enlightenment that resolves the confusion and establishes order.
The collection includes a preface, notes on the poems, a chronology of the poet's life and works, and four indexes that facilitate searching and using the book. These editions allow readers to gain a deeper understanding of Frost's work and its underlying themes.
The Smell of Apples is not only a collection of poems, but also an introspective journey through the human psyche, nature, and existential questions, making it a valuable contribution to the Croatian literary scene.
