Poetry and
American Memory
by Robert Pinsky
The poet laureate reflects
on what makes the American people "a people" -- and
what our poetry can teach us about the "fragile, heroic
enterprise of remembering."

Letter from the President October, 2001
- Hello Frost Friends,
-
- We did it!
-
- After three years of daring and
determination, we can report that we have a contract to buy Robert
Frost's Stone House in Shaftsbury, Vermont. Only minutes away
from Frost's
- gravesite in Bennington, the Stone
House will be the only museum in Vermont where a visitor can
learn of Frost's life and art.
-
- This elegant old house, dating
back to 1769, was historic even when Frost bought it. It is one
of the oldest houses in Shaftsbury and has changed little from
its original design. It is a rare survivor of colonial vernacular
architecture.
-
- Frost bought the house in 1920
when he first came to Vermont. In this house, on a hot summer
morning in 1922, Frost wrote his famous poem Stopping by Woods
on a Snowy Evening.
-
- Our fundraising efforts start now.
We have until spring of 2002 to raise the funds to buy the property.
If we are lucky and all goes well, we will open the house as
a Frost museum in the summer of 2002.
-
- Everything depends on the gifts
of generous people who love this poet and wish to see this piece
of American literary history celebrated and preserved for the
future.
- Be one of those people. Find

-
-
- Yours in Frost,
- Carole Thompson
