    Having grown up with the Berlin wall and all it meant, and having witnessed it coming down, the video with that interpretation of the poem was especially stirring and moving. Thank you for including it.

    What I liked best on this page was the Xoax interpretation, though, especially the illustration regarding the dividing line of the poem itself, and how the choices of words reflected the before and after aspects. It is such depth in design and construction that makes poetry more than just a story told in verse. Thank you!

    Learnt this poem when I was a teenager, long ago, and always loved Frost's poems.

    We just finished the study of Robert Frost and now I am going to go back with my son and have him read your lens. Thank you so much for putting this together. Adding to my favorites and adding a blessing.

    This is the first time I've heard this poem. By the second video, I was digesting the words better although the war images along with the words are hard to watch. Then for the third video that includes interpretation, I stopped it only a few sentences in since I want to read the poem a few more times on my own before hearing what others have to say. But I will come back and watch it too. As always, a wonderful lens from you.

    I used this lens to help when I read this great poem at my book club back in spring.( I see I left a message then) I've come back in my new angel guise to bless this lens!

    My dear, this is absolutely FABULOUS, absolutely F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S! I've always been a fan of Robert Frost for so much and love how you have presented this topic. Rather makes me think of the "letter of the law" vs "the spirit of the law" and how there can be more than one interpretation of something! OH, Wow. ;)

    A very helpful lens. Dry stone walls are everywhere here and the poem has great resonance.

    Wonderful lesson plan ideas for Robert Frost's Mending Wall Poem. This lens is now featured on Garner Rix and the Royalton Raid, a unit study of life in the 18th century.

I enjoy public audio poetry, and Robert Frost is a particular favorite. One of my passions is stringing words together -- and another is reading them... more »
