 s discussion\, panelists will examine the life and legacy of Robert Frost
 \, as it intersects with American politics. Frost is arguably the most re
 cognizable American poet in the world\, yet his career has been marked by
  a complex relationship with American politics. As the United States’ fir
 st Poet Laureate\, the first poet to read at a presidential inauguration\
 , and one of JFK’s cultural emissaries to the USSR\, Frost saw himself as
  wielding poetic power in the service of American civic life at home\, an
 d American “soft power” abroad. This panel will explore the role of poetr
 y and the arts in civic life\, asking what role poetry might have in shap
 ing the virtues of a citizen.\n\nEarlier that day\, join us for an lunch 
 conversation on Frost with Robert Hass (student event). Details and RSVP

 ert Frost Society and Professor of English at PennWest University (Edinbo
