The Dead Poets of New England

N.H. Poets Were Honored on Frost's Derry Farm

Many, many thanks to all who participated in the historic Remembering the Poets of the Granite State event. For 90 minutes the crowd heard poem after historica poem floating through those historic barn rafters where Frost himself used to work.

Both inner and outer weather sparkled and it seemed the fall colors themselves were saluting the past poets of New Hampshire. Details of the event will be forthcoming and video clips of the event will be posted when they start going online.

Iconic Frost Farm Hosts Dead Poets Celebration

The beautiful and historic Frost Farm has joined with the Dead Poets Society of America to host the first New Hampshire Dead Poets Remembrance Day. The grand celebration will take place in the famous Frost barn at 3 PM, on Sunday, October 10th.

Come hear the poetry of Jane Kenyon, Odgen Nash, Robert Lowell, Celia Thaxter, Robert Frost, Scott Mowrer, May Sarton, Richard Eberhart, Phillip Booth, and more, in this National Historic Landmark.

All are welcome to attend the reading. There is a fee of $4 (NH resident) or $5 (non NH resident) to enter to Farm, which is truly one of the best-kept literary sites in the country.

Many thanks to S. Stephanie, poet and wife of NH Poet Laureate, Walter Butts, and Bill Gleed, manager of the Frost Farm and co-founder of the Hyla Brook Poets, for helping to put this event together.

Historic Reading At Robert Lowell's Grave

Join the Dead Poets Grand Tour 2010 at a reading in the historic Stark Family cemetery, in Dunbarton, NH, on Saturday, April 24. This is where Robert Lowell is buried. (Directions from Concord on Google)

We'll be joined by NH poet laureate, Walter Butts, and other regional poets, at 4 PM.

Please contact Walter Skold, at info (at) deadpoes  [dot] org if you plan to attend. There is no rain location as of yet, and we plan to hold the event if there are gray skies or light rain.

Poems for New Hampshire/Dunbarton Reading

This post is for people to list which poems they wish to read at the April 24th, 4 PM reading at the grave of Robert Lowell. Please use the comments to list your poem/s. They should be from past poets from New Hampshire and New England.

I would like for someone to start off with Lowell's "Dunbarton"

Would also be interesting for someone to read "At the Indian Killer's Grave", and "In Memory of Arthur Winslow" (who is buried near Lowell).
