Many readers consider "North of Boston" to be Frost's best book of poems. In Britain, it was praised even more than his first book. Readers saw the way he took simple material and constructed from it a world of new meanings. They saw the way he spoke with a voice that sounded like common speech. What they failed to see was the differences Frost found between what was seen and the person doing the seeing. This was what he called "the outer and inner weather". In 1915, both of Frost's books were published in the United States. He felt that his books had "gone home", and he should go home, too. When he reached America, he was surprised by the praise he received and the acceptance of American publishers. In the words of the poem he read at President Kennedy's inauguration many years later: "The land was his before he was the land's."
