    In [SQUELCH PROCEDURES], MLA Chernoff contemplates the ways that trauma, poverty, and strict gender norms rupture the concept of childhood. The tension of multiple meanings in the word “squelch” acts as a guide to Chernoff’s unique voice, which uses language to swaddle intrusive thoughts and mimic defense mechanisms such as avoidance, depersonalization, and derealization. [SQUELCH PROCEDURES] is an ambitious attempt to show how healing and regression are often indistinguishable, while the past is always predisposed to happen more than once: first as tragedy, then as farce.

This anthology features a selection of Frost's most celebrated works, providing readers with a glimpse into the breadth and depth of his poetic talent. 
    The collection opens with Frost's iconic poem "The Road Not Taken," a meditation on choices, paths, and the uncertainties of life. Throughout the anthology, Frost explores themes such as nature, human experience, and the passage of time. His poems often depict rural landscapes, reflecting his deep connection to the New England countryside. 
    In "Selected Poems," readers encounter Frost's keen observations of the natural world, where he finds both beauty and brutality. From the tranquil scenes of snowy woods to the harsh realities of farm life, Frost's poetry captures the essence of rural existence with vivid clarity. 
    Beyond his depictions of nature, Frost delves into the complexities of human relationships and emotions. He explores themes of love, loss, isolation, and resilience, offering poignant insights into the human condition. 
    Throughout the collection, Frost's language is deceptively simple yet rich with layers of meaning. His use of meter, rhyme, and metaphor imbues his poems with a timeless quality, inviting readers to contemplate life's profound mysteries. 
    "Selected Poems" by Robert Frost is not merely a compilation of verses but a journey through the landscapes of the poet's imagination. With its lyrical beauty and profound insights, this anthology continues to captivate readers and solidify Frost's place as one of America's greatest poets.
