Description:
Originally recorded between 1950 and 1952 at New York City's Poetry Center, the first of these two cassettes captures Frost reading some of his most famous poems ("Fire and Ice," "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening"), using his voice's dramatic strength and surprising flexibility to bring full life to the diverse characters he shaped with his written words. The second cassette, recorded at his New England home in 1956, presents Frost at his most evocative: crusty, warm, deeply moving and contemplative. Poems include "The Road Not Taken," "Mending Wall," and "Death of a Hired Man." In each, Frost reads with a generous spirit, infusing his naturalistic images with subtle meanings and precise wordings, a perfect blend for his uniquely realized language. Listen to Robert Frost read "The Pasture." Visit our audio help page for more information. (Running time: 1.75 hours, 2 cassettes) --George Laney
