Robert Frost: Speaking on Campus

Robert Frost: Speaking on Campus Synopsis

Robert Frost's poetry has triumphantly survived him, but most readers today have not known him in one of his most significant capacities-as teacher and lecturer. Here, collected for the first time, are excerpts from forty-six of his presentations delivered to students at more than thirty academic institutions over three decades. Frost's topics include: "e;What I think I'm doing when I write a poem,"e; "e;Getting up things to say for yourself,"e; "e;The future of the world,"e; "e;Fall in love at sight,"e; and "e;Not freedom from, but freedom of."e;Gathered by Edward Connery Lathem, editor of The Poetry of Robert Frost, and introduced by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David M. Shribman, Robert Frost: Speaking on Campus reveals Frost in the setting of both classroom and lecture hall, where he inspired thousands.
