Description

This is the letter and enclosed poems Patricia Goedicke (then Patricia McKenna) sent to Robert Frost in 1952 and Frost's reply. McKenna was a student at Middlebury College when the letter was sent, and judging by the date, the letter was sent during the Breadloaf Writers' Conference. In his reply, Frost specifically comments upon what he feels to be the strengths and weaknesses of the poem titled "Building."
