Frost's '47 Lecture Finally Gets Printed
By JOHN CURRAN – 1 day ago 


HANOVER, N.H. (AP) — Sixty years after New England poet Robert Frost sat down with Dartmouth 
College students for an off-the-record lecture, the four-time Pulitzer Prize winner's words to them are being published for the first time.


The transcript of the 1947 speech includes a candid question-and-answer session in which the poet suggests one way to take the world is "as a joke, take it humorously."


A transcript of the Oct. 23, 1947, speech — one of dozens he gave at the college — will be published 
later this month in the journal Literary Imagination. Transcripts of other lectures he gave at the Ivy League school in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s are also headed for print, thanks to a former undergrad who came across recordings of the talks and found out they'd never been heard beyond the campus.


The transcripts may not rise to the level of a new discovered poem or manuscript in significance, but Frost lovers and scholars may learn a thing or two.


"It's like Frost unplugged,"
