Is Robert Frost Hiding Something? (Session 1 of 5)

**Please Note:  Registration and Waitlist for this series are currently at capacity.

Robert Frost's enduring appeal rests on the view that his poems do not present "difficulties" - that is, they are easy to read and understand. His limited range of subjects and geography, use of New England vernacular, dry humor and mastery of his craft all support that view. 

Delmar resident Jeff Cohen will lead a series of programs that will examine whether there is more to Frost than meets the eye. Jeff has led several poetry series at the Library, including workshops on Emily Dickinson and Elizabeth Bishop. Jeff is a recently retired attorney, whose career spanned private practice and public service.
