Amy Lawless reads Robert Frost
Listen now
Description
Amy is an exceedingly fierce and hilarious poet whose most recent work Broadax is fresh off the press. Broadax is an exploration of being fearless in a world where fear is weaponized to keep women compliant. Amy brings to us her life long hate love of Robert Frost and reads Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening. You get to hear this popular poem in a completely different albeit dark light. The conversation travels from hatred of poetry to peas and poetry as a form of rebellion. You will learn afresh that peas can not be eaten with ease. We reimagine Frost's darling poem and surmise the meaning of it as he may or may not have intended.
