Robert Frost  

[Robert Frost - Selected Poems. This selection first published by Penguin Books 1973. This edition 20]

Is Robert Frost the only poet to have appeared on 'The Simpsons'? And what poem did he read? Hint: Krusty the Clown poured a bucket of snow on his head!

This page isn't going to be developed much more. I've been experimenting with a site called www.blackboard.com where online courses can easily be put on the web, and the FROST section of the course is there. The course is called FROST101 but access is restricted. Again, not something I'm totally comfortable with, but something I wanted to try.

If you're in my LIT class and have the access code you can go directly to the course at the link below:
