Arguably archetypally Frostian in the poem a speaker journeys out into nature to register a typically ambiguous sign from an encounter there. In Come In the journey is significantly only to the edge of the darkening woods no further At his public readings Frost would use Come In to declare his objections to the grimness of modernist wasteland verse occasionally suggesting that this poem might express his rejection of invitations to gatherings of modern poets. This is the final poem in the collection preceding the Afterword and paired rather beautifully with Into My Own which precedes Come In and faces it on the preceding page verso to recto. <br /> <br />This collection was published on 5 April 1943. Frost was nearly 70 years old. The next month in early May 1943 came announcement of Frosts final and still-unrivalled fourth Pulitzer Prize for poetry for A Witness Tree. Even though he had not published his first volume of poetry until he was nearly 40 years old he would spend his remaining two decades as the most highly esteemed American poet of the twentieth century with an accumulating hoard of academic and civic honors. Two years before his death he became the first poet to read in the program of a U.S. Presidential inauguration Kennedy January 1961. <br /> <br />References: Crane A26; Tuten & Zubizarreta; ANB <br/><br/> Henry Holt and Company hardcover
