Description
Robert Frost (1873-1963) was America’s last broadly popular poet. The first to read at a presidential inauguration, he was also the first to serve as poet-in-residence at a university. Everyone read Frost. He appeared on the new medium of TV and spoke at colleges and universities across the country. We’ll examine Frost’s life, biography, and historical context to understand his appeal and his philosophy. We’ll also pair some of his most familiar poems with less well-known poems to understand a large variety of his work.
