Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Excerpted from the dust-jacket blurb: |> Robert Frost's poetry has triumphantly survived him, but most readers today have not known him in one of his most significant capacities - as teacher and lecturer. Here, published for the first time, are excerpts from forty-six of his presentations, delivered at more than thirty academic institutions during a period spanning three decades. Frost's topics include, among others, "What I think I,m doing when I write a poem", "Getting up things to say for yourself", "The future of the world", "Fall in love at sight", and "Not freedom from, but freedom of". <| Excerpted from the Introduction |> There are many lessons in this volume, some about Frost, some about poetry, some about life, and some about how Frost, poetry, and life help explain one another. Certainly paramount among the lessons here is that Frost was a poet by profession, but fundamentally and always a teacher by temperament. He mixed the two, both in his poetry and in his public appearances - in his reading and in his talks - and most especially when on an academic campus. He was never one without being the other : poet and teacher.<| Frost told an interviewer in 1960, "Dartmouth is my chief college - the first one I ran away from - Dartmouth's where I began my career, by running away." This particular copy has a Dartmouth College presentation bookplate on the front paste-down, reading: "In recognition of all your accomplishments from the Faculty of Arts and Sciences to the Class of 2011. Dartmouth College." That is pretty special, especially in a book that contains several talks he gave at Dartmouth!
