A distinguished American Poet by recognition and a Vermonter by preference, Robert Frost was Poet Laureate of Vermont and for many years First Citizen of the Town of Ripton. He was long associated with the Middlebury College School of English and its Writers Conference. Breathes there are a bard who isnt moved When he finds his verse is understood And not entirely disapproved By his Country and his Neighborhood? - Robert Frost
