Robert Forst, the celebrated New England poet, will give a lecture and reading in Gerrard Hall this evening (Friday) at 8:30 o’clock. There is no admission charge, and the public is invited.
The dominant characteristics of Mr. Frost’s verse are simplicity and sincerity. “North of Boston,” published several years ago, made him well-known, and since that appeared his fame has increased.
He worked on a New Hampshire farm when he was a boy. He taught English at Pinkerton Academy several years, and then taught psychology at the New Hampshire State Normal. From 1923 to 1915 he was in England. Returning, he became a professor at Amherst, and in 1921 went to the University of Michigan.
