New Hampshire Humanities presents
Robert Frost On the Farm: New Hampshire Farming as told by the poet.
Presented by Jeff Zygmont
Tuesday, March 25, 2025
6:30 PM Upper Town Hall
While it makes spoken words sing like sauntering music, Robert Frost’s poetry can also help us appreciate the rigor of life on a New England farm in the early 20th century. (Hint: It was hard.) In an exploration of both New Hampshire history and Frost’s poetry, author and poet Jeffrey Zygmont recites a selection of Frost’s poems about farming. Alongside each recitation, he provides background on Frost’s life, offering insight into the poem’s origins, and commentary on the work’s artistic beauty, as well as the experiences and emotions it expresses. Participants will join a lively discussion celebrating Robert Frost’s unique gift for capturing farm life in poetry.

Join master fly tyer Scott Biron for an engaging and educational demonstration that combines craftsmanship, history, and artistry. In this presentation, Scott will tie a fly while delving into its rich history and connection to the region. He will discuss the hook and its maker, the traditional materials used in the tying process, and the cultural significance of these timeless patterns.
Scott Biron brings decades of experience and passion to the art of fly tying, having learned the craft in the 1960s in New Hampshire’s North Country. A juried Master Artist in the NH Traditional Arts Program, Scott has been recognized with multiple NH Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Grants, including for his expertise in Traditional New England Streamer patterns and Classic Salmon Flies.
Scott’s work highlights the artistry and history of New Hampshire’s legendary fly tyers, preserving their lost patterns through extensive research, instruction, and publications. As a member of the Catskill Fly Tyers Guild and an Ambassador for the American Museum of Fly Fishing, Scott shares his expertise nationally and internationally. His contributions to American Fly Fisher and the Atlantic Salmon Journal reflect his dedication to this intricate craft.
