Kennedy, which attracted worldwide attention.

His other major collections of poetry include "Between the Mountains". Frost's poetic style is not won by novelty, but by the innovation of traditional poetic forms, which he calls "expressing new content with old forms". He is good at symbolically describing plants such as trees, flowers and plants, as well as common scenes and images, and then projecting the values advocated by poets through them. Frost has always been one of the most popular poets in America, which is closely related to his poetic style.
