Robert Frost on the Farm

Robert Frost | Biography, Childhood, Poems, Awards, & Facts ...

 

Robert Frost on the Farm

 

Presenter: Jeffrey Zygmont

While it makes spoken words sing like sauntering music, Robert Frost’s poetry can also help us appreciate the rigor of life on a New England farm in the early 20th century. (Hint: It was hard.) In an exploration of both New Hampshire history and Frost’s poetry, author and poet Jeffrey Zygmont recites a selection of Frost’s poems about farming. Alongside each recitation, he provides background on Frost’s life, offering insight into the poem’s origins, and commentary on the work’s artistic beauty, as well as the experiences and emotions it expresses. Participants will join a lively discussion celebrating Robert Frost’s unique gift for capturing farm life in poetry. 

 

Join us as we celebrate 50 years of bringing the humanities to your community!
