As with so many other poets, his life was an imperfect one, full of sorrow. But I agree that it's far too easy for us to pass judgment on someone we never knew personally, who lived in a different world, a different time and under totally different circumstances. I try to take what I hear or read about people with the same "benefit of doubt" that I would want others to grant to me.Juliahttp://defeatdespair.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-36185370938577699102013-01-05T16:20:35.129-05:002013-01-05T16:20:35.129-05:00"Like all good poetry, very true".

I tend to give someone the benefit of the doubt, especially when they are dead and can no longer defend themselves.<br />I read a bit and found the following:<br /><br />Within a decade, however, the poet's public image was shattered by the appearance of the second volume of Lawrance Thompson's authorized biography, Robert Frost: The Years of Triumph, 1915-1937 (1970), which reviewers took at face value to be an accurate account of a man whom Helen Vendler deemed a "monster of egotism" (New York Times Book Review, 9 Aug. 1970). Although Frost later came to have grave misgivings about his choice, he had designated Thompson his official biographer in 1939. For whatever reason, the poet felt unable to renounce that decision despite his awareness of Thompson's frequently unsympathetic, even hostile constructions of his attitudes and conduct. Although reviewers perceived in Thompson, as Vendler put it, "an affectation of fairness," they tended to subscribe, nevertheless, to the "monster-myth" that poisoned Frost's reputation. Evidence that he was not a wrecker of others' lives was soon at hand in the form of The Family Letters of Robert and Elinor Frost, edited by Arnold Grade (1972). More than a decade would pass before the tide was turned: first by W. H. Pritchard's Frost: A Literary Life Reconsidered (1984) and then by Stanley Burnshaw's Robert Frost Himself (1986), which enabled Publishers' Weekly to state that "the unfortunately influential 'monster-myth' stands here convincingly corrected."<br />Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-70228111198420802992013-01-05T11:44:55.267-05:002013-01-05T11:44:55.267-05:00Great poem.
