West-Running Brook

Robert Frost's fifth major collection, published in 1928, takes its name from the title poem—a meditation on a brook that runs counter to all others, symbolizing the human spirit's resistance to entropy. The collection includes powerful lyrics like "Acquainted with the Night," "Once by the Pacific," and "Spring Pools," showcasing Frost at the height of his powers.
