Poets & Writers Theater

“I got something out of being a teacher, I had to make things understood, and that put me in the class of poets who wanted to be understood,” says Robert Frost in this rare 1952 interview for NBC with Bela Kornitzer, in which the renowned poet speaks about his childhood, early publishing career, and the development of his craft, and reads two of his poems: “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” and “The Drumlin Woodchuck.” 

“Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back.” This interpretation of Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken” uses serene footage from British Columbia, Canada, expressed through the engaging cinematography of Marty Mellway.
