World Poets: Robert Frost
Hear Graham Fawcett explore the life and poetry of Robert Frost.
Robert Frost started writing poetry 4 years after Emily Dickinson’s death. He was still going strong in 1961, reading a poem at President Kennedy’s inauguration. Frost revealed early on a compelling originality of voice which uses an apparently effortless double gift of metrical rhythms and sudden drama to celebrate nature and country life with a memorably direct simplicity.
