Robert Frost Poems of Summer: Reading & Discussion

A close look at two short poems (“Hyla Brook” and “The Oven Bird”) set in summer that illustrate Frost’s deep knowledge and probing response to our ever changing natural world. If time allows, we will also consider Frost’s “A Time to Talk.”

To start us off, we will look at Shakespeare’s treatment of this theme in Sonnet 13: “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?”

This session will be geared toward discussion, and everyone is encouraged to take part.  The library will provide copies of the poems.

The program will be led by David Sanders, a retired Professor of English and resident of South Salem since January 2021.
