The Art and Letters of Robert Frost

在最后一个学年（2022-2023），我继续在弗罗斯特信件项目的工作。我为《罗伯特·弗罗斯特书信集》（1937-1947）第四卷完成了大约230封信件的翻译。（其中1~3篇已由哈佛大学出版社出版。）我曾两次前往美国，与我的美国共同编辑合作（一次在2022年8月，第二次在2023年3月初）。通过合作，我们能够解决一些问题，这些问题与弗罗斯特没有注明日期的信件有关（并且没有邮戳信封幸存下来）。我们还对数百个字母进行了语音验证转录。在2022年10月、11月和12月，我和我在日本的合作编辑（亨利阿特莫尔）一起工作，对我自己的所有录音进行语音验证。在2022年的过程中，我还审查了所有以前的，现在已经过时的弗罗斯特信件的版本，以确保我们为每一封信都获得了新的手稿副本。我还重读了诗人最著名的传记的相关部分，以确保我们已经抓住了所有引用的信件，但没有收集在一个适当的版本的“信件”。“在我找到这些信件的地方，我试图获得手稿的副本，以便重新抄写。

During the last academic year (2022-2023), I continued work on the Frost Letters Project. I completed transcriptions of some 230 letters in the date range for what will be volume four of The Letters of Robert Frost (1937-1947). (Volumes 1~3 have already been published by Harvard University Press.) I made two trips to the US to work with my American co-editors (one in August 2022, the second in early March 2023). Working together, we were able to sort out a number of problems to do with dating letters which Frost did not date (and for which no postmarked envelope survives). We also voice-verified transcriptions of several hundred letters. During October, November, and December 2022, I worked with my co-editor here in Japan (Henry Atmore), voice-verifying all of my own transcriptions. Over the course of 2022 I also reviewed all previous, and now outdated, editions of Frost’s letters, to assure that we had obtained fresh copies of manuscripts for every one of them. I also re-read the relevant parts of the most notable biographies of the poet to insure that we had caught all letters quoted therein but not collected in a proper edition of "letters." And where I located such letters, I sought to obtain copies of them in manuscript for fresh transcription.
