A Short Frost Biography

This is a short biography about Frost that I found when I was looking for more information about his affair that we talked about this morning. You can read it here, it is pretty quick, but it gives a nice overview of his work life and dabbles in his personal life. I was disappointed that it doesn't mention his affair, although it does mention Elinor.

    I've been trying to find online analyses about the Silken Tent talking about the affair but I can't find anything about it in general so maybe that's a bit of a stretch saying it was about her? Not sure

      Yeah I really didn't find much about it last night. I remember her name was Kate but I forget her last name, so it was impossible to search for her personally. I was pretty annoyed at how little there was.

    Her name was Kay Morrison, which might be why you had trouble finding information. I came across this interview with Jay Parini, the Middlebury professor I mentioned who wrote a biography on Frost and pushes his classes to look at "Birches" through a sexual lens as well as a more innocent one.

    The interview is interesting, but if you're just looking for mention of Kay Morrison, go right to the 4:00 mark.
