A rare collection of letters, audio files, photographs and other materials that could illuminate the personal beliefs of Robert Frost is being made available to the public for the first time, thanks to a UB emeritus faculty member.
The collection chronicles a 24-year friendship between the beloved American poet and Victor Reichert, a Cincinnati rabbi who summered with Frost in Vermont. It was kept in the Buffalo home of the rabbi’s son, Jonathan Reichert, UB professor emeritus of physics.
Scholars say the materials—officially called the Victor E. Reichert Robert Frost Collection—could provide an important, missing link between Frost’s poetry and his view of religion, which has been the subject of debate for decades.
