Autograph of Robert Frost, etc.

Unpublished variation of a poem done by Robert Frost! Frost is one of the most popular and critically respected American poets of the twentieth century; Frost was honored frequently during his lifetime, receiving four Pulitzer Prizes for poetry. He became one of America's rare"public literary figures, almost an artistic institution." He was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 1960 for his poetical works. On July 22, 1961, Frost was named Poet laureate of Vermont. In this original manuscript Frost changed or removed multiple Stanzas and words from another poem which he published called & Idquo; A Record Stride&rdquo. This unique version is titled, "A Record for Me". After research and correspondence with other Frost experts it is believed that this poem was most likely written for a family member or close friend, possibly even for himself. There is also a possibility that this is an original draft of the poem that later became "A Record Stride". This poem is very biographical, and deeply vulnerable and revealing, and with the many differences he made we believe to be quite a significant find.In the new poem he removed two stanza's. One stanza referring to his grandchildren and in another it had referred to the United States. Frost also substituted words for two other stanzas. In the 5th stanza, 1st line he originally said take my tongue to (the shoes now), which has now been replaced with (to their leather) instead. Another change is in the 6th stanza last line he changed I (should sell for what) to I(Ought to see what) they would fetch. To find any unpublished Manuscripts by a Pulitzer Prize winning poet are quite rare and desirable, we are proud to offer such a spectacular piece of Robert Frost poetry. The poem is also accompanied with a group of 7 original Christmas poetry leaflets, a few are quite scarce and two original dinner invitations in his honor.
