We Found Frost! 225th Poets' Grave!

Dedgar and crew drove over 10 hours in our quest to "Find Frost!" My 225th grave!!!! On the way we stopped at the Stone House in Shaftsbury, VT., and the Frost family gravesite in Bennington, and then proceeded West to find Frost!

You'll have to wait for the movie to be released to see what and who we found! It was grave 225 on this 3-year journey!

6 Jewish Poets for Palm Sunday

On Palm Sunday weekend, 2011, I visited about a dozen poets' graves from Whittier, in northern MASS, to Freneau, in Central Jersey. On Palm Sunday I spent an hour photographing the graves of six Jewish poets at Cedar Park Cemetery. Some of the photos are in the collection of Jewish Poets's Graves, and some iPhone videos are at the On the Road with Dedgar short video collection.
