As the men work, the narrator questions the purpose of a wall "where it is we do not need the wall" (23). The narrator, a New England farmer, contacts his neighbor in the spring to rebuild the stone wall between their two farms. Like many of the poems in North of Boston, "Mending Wall" narrates a story drawn from rural New England. It opens Robert's second collection of poetry, North of Boston, published in 1914 by David Nutt, and it has become "one of the most anthologized and analyzed poems in modern literature". " Mending Wall" is a poem by the twentieth-century American poet Robert Frost (1874–1963). It was at this farm in Derry, New Hampshire, that Robert Frost wrote "Mending Wall", while he lived here from 1901–1911.
