The item was originally a blank page signed by Frost, the poem was printed at a later date.
Frost, the unofficial first Poet Laureate of the United States, wrote the poem as a joke for a friend, the poet Edward Thomas. When they went walking together, Thomas was chronically indecisive about which road they ought to take and — in retrospect — often lamented that they should, in fact, have taken the other one.
1930 heralded the beginning of a decade of astounding highs and lows for the young poet – marked by the mental illness of his sister and children, and the onset of the Great Depression which affected the rural New England culture he wrote about. However, it was also the year Frost would publish his Collected Poems volume which would go on to win the 1931 Pulitzer Prize.
The Frost signature has been thoroughly examined and CERTIFIED AUTHENTIC BY PSA/DNA EXPERT EXAMINATION and encapsulated inside PSA/DNA's proprietary sonically-sealed slab. PSA/DNA is considered the industry standard in autograph authentication.
