The poetry of Emily Dickinson (1830-1885) and Robert Frost (1874-1963) is familiar to us not merely because it is distinctively American but also because it is local. While New England was their common ground, their most frequent subjects were found in their neighborhoods.
As different as they are in style, vision and voice, Emily Dickinson and Robert Frost are good neighbors to one another, and also to the natural world they explore in striking ways. Helping us appreciate their remarkable poetry will be Jim Warren, Mason Professor of English emeritus.
