  December 31, 2022 This was the first book I read this year, a poetry book by Robert Frost (b. March 26, 1874) that won a Pulitzer Prize in Literature in the 1920s, and this is an over 100 yr old copy from the library: I was up late past my bedtime reading Frost! He just…

• Kinds of Poems for the Future and About the First Poem I Ever Wrote
