"You Come Too: My Journey with Robert Frost" by Dr. Lesley Lee Francis
 
Dr. Lesley Lee Francis will speak on her latest book: "You Come Too: My Journey with Robert Frost."
Enjoy an intimate afternoon with the granddaughter of Robert Frost as she presents her reflections on her grandfather's poems and philosophy of life. Her book, "You Come Too," is much more than an appreciation of his poems; it also presents a firsthand account of a family that was enlightened by the perspectives of the great poet. His musings on education and family relations are potentially even more relevant in today's world where distractions make it so difficult for adults and children to stop and reflect on both the mundane life experiences, as well as the significant choices thrust upon us.
Poetry can serve as a wonderful tool to maintain the inherent imagination of children, and to coax or resurrect the latent imagination of adults. Don't miss this opportunity to be a part of an intensely personal account of American poet Robert Frost.
