Kennedy. In turn, the new president paid tribute to Frost: ‘He has bequeathed his nation a body of imperishable verse from which Americans will forever gain joy and understanding’. This selection is introduced by the Irish poet Paul Muldoon, who provides a beautifully close reading of ‘Directive’ as he examines Frost’s enduring appeal on both sides of the Atlantic. Jonathan Gibbs’s deep connection to nature made him the perfect choice to illustrate the work of a man who modestly declared that his life’s ambition was to write ‘a few poems it will be hard to get rid of ‘.
