Signed autograph poem from the American poet and four-time Pulitzer Prize winner who has penned in black ink the complete two stanzas of his poignant ‘Dust of Snow’ on the front free endpage, signed and inscribed at the conclusion.

Published in Frost's Pulitzer Prize-winning volume 'New Hampshire' (1923) and on page 15 of the present volume, "Dust of Snow" consists of two brief, seemingly simple rhymed stanzas and shows Frost as the master of the miniature. There are no adverbs or adjectives to clutter up the message or the image—a small moment during a midwinter walk that has greater significance, a brief incident that turns the ponderous weight of bitter regret into light and thankful hope.
