Frost in the time of COVID

16 October 2020: So many times this semester, I've been moved by how the literature I teach takes on new light or significance during this pandemic and political moment. Today it was Frost's "Mending Wall" in ENGL 204. We talked about walls, both literal and metaphorical and it occurred to me that masks and social distancing function as kinds of barriers proving "good fences make good neighbors." 

(I suppose my title has double meaning, since there's a frost advisory for tonight.)
