Robert Frost would be proud. Although the iconic poet lived and wrote in Derry more than 100 years ago, poetry is still being created at his farm, now a state historic site and the home of the Hyla Brook poets.
The Robert Frost Farm’s 2014 Hyla Brook Reading Series [opened May 14] with poet, literary critic and Harvard professor Stephen Burt reading in the intimate setting of Frost’s barn. Hyla Brook poet Stephen Scaer will also read.
The New York Times called Burt “one of the most influential poetry critics of his generation.” Burt has published eight books; his new book of poems, Belmont, was featured as one of NPR’s great reads of 2013.
Named for the Massachusetts town where Burt lives with his spouse and two children, Belmont explores topics of parenthood, gender, identity, climate change, and the gap between reality and imagination.
