Photographing Frost

“Whose woods these are….” Robert Frost’s poems explore the winter landscape in narratives of human interaction with the land. To understand Frost’s winter imagery, we will interpret his written work through the medium of photography. Using shooting locations such as the Frost Trail and Cabin, as well as the local terrain, we will consider the meaning of Frost’s art through creative involvement with the landscape that inspired him. In addition to making photographs, we will read, discuss, and write about selected Frost poems with the goal of producing a self-published book of our essays and photographs. (Students will need to have access to a camera.)
