Florey’s Book Company welcomes Redwood City poet Casey FitzSimons for the third in a series of discussions of Robert Frost’s poems. Casey is a widely published poet writing in form and free verse. She has a background in visual art, editing, and criticism. Her chapbooks include Against the Familiar Wall (2014) and Standing in the Open House (2013). She has a master’s degree in Fine Arts from San José State University.
From Casey:
“Frost’s can be deeply self-reflective. At the extreme, it’s hard to know what he’s talking about. We’ll try to unravel the “ulterior” meaning (Frost’s own expression) in some of his later, more philosophical works:
Design
For Once, Then, Something
The Most of It
Directive
Some of the topics we’ll touch on are extended metaphor, a poet’s wellspring of inspiration, and allusion to other works.”
