| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
I am editing a five-volume edition of the letters of the American poet Robert Frost (1874-1963). Three volumes have already been published. I am now working on volume four. In August 2022 (8/6-8/14), I traveled to Meadville, Pennsylvania (after incurring delays in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic). Two of my co-editors live in Meadville/Edinboro, PA. The three of us worked together transcribing, voice-verifying, and annotating letters Frost wrote between 1937 and 1946, the date range for volume four. This is essential work of the kind I have now been doing, on the project, for some fifteen years.
