Enjoy this captivating journey into the life and poetry of Robert Frost, as his dear friend and farmhand, Carl Burell, shares stories about Rob with the people of Derry, New Hampshire at the Derry Centennial Celebration of 1927. This fictional reenactment provides an enlightening and entertaining look inside the early years of Robert Frost through the eyes of his childhood friend, farming mentor and hired hand.

Along the way, Carl also reads many of his favorite Frost poems, masterfully capturing the transcendent power of these enduring masterpieces in his native voice. For lovers of poetry, Frost enthusiasts, teachers and students, The Rob I Knew is a unique and absorbing way to explore and appreciate one of our great American poets. Eric Copenhaver, author and performer of this compelling audiobook, is a displaced New Hampshire native and lifelong Frost devotee—who is delighted to be channeling the colorful Carl Burell.Show book
