Scope and content

A framed handwritten poem, "The Gift Outright," dedicated to the Newtons, is the centerpiece of this small and lovingly assembled collection celebrating the works and life of Robert Frost, and his connection with Florida over the many winters he spent in Key West. Includes several of his privately printed poems (some of which are inscribed or signed), signed copies of his collected poems, correspondence (chiefly from his friend Kathleen Morrison to Miss Jessie regarding Frost), photographs and guest books. Other materials include newspaper clippings, first day covers, programs, and other ephemera pertaining to Frost.
