The poetry of Robert Frost, though in no way substituting for the miracles of modern medicine, can provide readers with a measure of solace. In addition to the sheer beauty of his poetry, Frost’s emphasis upon an immersion in nature, his belief in the stabilizing influences of family and community, his insistence upon courage (sometimes “the best way out is through”), his demonstration in his poetry of cognitive behavioral therapy, and his pragmatic belief that poetry can provide one with a “momentary stay against confusion” combine to provide young readers at least a partial antidote to the turmoil of their lives.
