***Saturday, November 22nd, 2:00–4:00 pm***
From Casey:
“Frost’s “talking poems” tell stories of life in the New England farming community, but delve into universal themes of death, responsibility, and self-sufficiency. We’ll read and discuss
Death of the Hired Man
Home Burial
Two Tramps in Mud Time
Some of the topics we’ll touch on are the use of dialogue in poetry, Frost’s supposed preference for everyday language, and blank verse (meter without rhyme).”
