Welcome to the official blog for the book 11 New Roads Not Taken.

The book reprints classic Robert Frost poems in a vintage style (simulating their original font and layout), accompanied by "new takes" by Jeremy Friedman, aka The Poet Lawyerate (author website: poetlawyerate.com).  The "new takes" are contemporary original new poems that take inspiration from the Frost works.  111 years after "The Road Not Taken" first appeared, it's time for a journey back to the future ... through lyric poetry (mostly), as presented in 11 New Roads Not Taken.

The book's official website is 11newroads.com.  Its covers are over here.

The book is planned to be in distribution soon.  Check back here for updates.

Thanks for stopping by.
