Please join us in-person for a 4-week literature seminar led by Judson Scruton, who will take us through a survey of the metaphors of Robert Frost.

“I had a lover’s quarrel with the world, ” reads the epitaph on Robert Frost's gravestone.  Love for the world he certainly had and it is marvelously captured in the stunning yet direct metaphors of his poetry. That he quarreled with the confusions and pains of life on this planet is also seen and heard in the fierce ironies in many of his poems. Some critics complained that his folksy, rural shtick was tiresome or that his poetry was too brutally cynical, but for the majority of 20th century Americans, Frost was the most beloved American poet. In the 21st century his stature among the critics is only increasing. Come join us for an informal discussion of the wit, wisdom, and enlivening metaphors of Robert Frost.
