Three American Poets – The Strangeness of Nature Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening – Robert Frost Robert Frost's poem – an iconic and very well known poem – can be misunderstood, and is misunderstood in many instances. This is because there is a seeming innocence about the poem. What could be confusing about a poem that seems so tranquil and so linked to the natural world in wintertime?
