Into His Own
A self-portrait of Robert Frost (1874-1963) as a young poet compiled by ED THOMASON from Frost's letters, poems and other writings. With

A poem begins with a lump in the throat; a home-sickness or a love-sickness. It's a reaching out towards expression; an effort to find fulfilment. A complete poem is one where an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found the words.' Directed by JOHN THEOCHARIS
