By no means the least talented of those killed in World War I, Edward Thomas has always been the odd man out among "war poets." Perhaps this is because his verse did not for the most part deal with the conflict that ended his life abruptly with a shell blast in April 1917.
Take heart, holiday procrastinators: Famed poet Robert Frost once waited until July to get his Christmas cards in the mail.
Unlike Thomas Wolfe ("You Can't Go Home Again") or Robert Frost ("Home is the place where when you have to go there they have to take you in"), David Halpert, the protagonist of Scott Lasser's fourth novel, believes he can find true happiness by returning to the place of his birth.

It's been nearly 100 years since poet Robert Frost wrote "Good fences make good neighbors."
