Event Details

Join the Robert Frost Society and San Diego Central Library for a celebration of Robert Frost and his lasting legacy as one of the most popular figures in American letters.

Ron Salisbury, San Diego’s first Poet Laureate, will open the event with the reading of a Frost poem.

Frost scholar Robert Bernard Hass will discuss the new partnership between the Robert Frost Society and the San Diego Public Library. Hass will also discuss the legacy of Frost and the resurgence of poetry as he dispels two persistent myths about Robert Frost.
