Robert Frost included this rural winter poem in his first collection A Boy's Will.\xa0 Concise it may be, and it works by tiny increments, but I think it's as harrowing as Dylan's "Hollis Brown" or Springsteen's Nebraska.\xa0 So, I set it to original music and performed it.

That's an example of what the Parlando Project does: we take other people's words, usually literary poetry, and set them to various kinds of original music. You can find over 700 examples of that at our blog and archives located at frankhudson.org
