| Question/Topic: |
Robert Frost - poem read at JFK Inauguration
|
| Answer/Pointer: |
Robert Frost had written a new poem for John F. Kennedy's Inauguration on Jan. 20, 1961,
but was unable to read it in the glare of the bright sunlight and recited only "The Gift Outright."
See: Robert Frost: Collected poems, prose, & plays. Library of America [1995], p. 316. (R+Circ) 811.52 Fro
Also, p. 435 for complete poem "For John F. Kennedy His Inauguration" of which "The Gift Outright" is the
last part. Also, p. 953 in chronology section.
