Abstract:
Robert Frost's last ambitious poem \"Kitty Hawk\" alludes to his first visit to North Carolina. Having recently been rejected by Elinor White, 18 year old Frost walked from Norfolk to Dismal Swamp where he intended to commit suicide. For over sixty years, the famed poet guarded the truth about his painful confrontation about death.
