Professor Kamran Javadizadeh's "Robert Frost at Midlife" for The Yale Review

We are excited to announce that Professor Kamran Javadizadeh recently published a new article, "Robert Frost at Midlife," in The Yale Review. 

In his article, Dr. Javadizadeh presents Robert Frost as a midlife poet grappling with his career amidst evolving poetic trends. His astute readings of "Nothing Gold Can Stay," "To Earthward," and "I Will Sing You One-O" offer insight into Frost's preoccupation with mortality, loneliness, and the inevitable passage of time. Click here to read the full article in Dr. Javadizadeh's elegant prose.
