Sobre este item
A Program from a public reading at the Coolidge Auditorium by Robert Frost, held on May 2 1960, at 8:30p.m. Some of the poems read that evening included "The Tuft of Flowers", "Tree at My Window", and "The Death of a Hired Man".
Original envelope, 6*9 inches, 4pp. Published by the U.S. Government Printing Office (Washington D.C.), 1960.
Inscribed in blue pen by Robert Frost to his cousin Joseph Frost on the front cover, "Robert to Joseph".
WorldCat locates just three institutional holdings. Rare thus, and even more so inscribed with this noteworthy association.
A fine example.
Joseph William Pepperrell Frost (1923-2008) was a historian and writer from Maine who, throughout his life, would share a close bond with his cousin Robert. With about fifty years between them, the two first met when Joseph was a young boy during Robert and Elinor's visit to the Frost ancestral home in the late 1920s. Later, Joseph's college years would be marked with frequent visits to stay with his cousin, even accompanying Robert to some of his many speaking engagements. In adulthood, he dedicated part of his time to researching and compiling records related to Frost family genealogy, a collection of which is now housed within the Portsmouth Athenaeum of New Hampshire.
