Robert Frost is probably America's best-known poet. Often thought of, mistakenly, as the Norman Rockwell of American letters, Frost was actually concerned with the tragic and the melancholy. But, we'll leave tragedy and melancholy for another day. Today, we're all coping with and, hopefully, enjoying the snow. So, here's a link to Frost's much-loved "Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening." You will also find at this same link other serious poems about snow and the myriad feelings and responses the white stuff provokes in humans. Maybe read or listen to a couple. Beats shoveling. Happy reading.
