A group of vandals who trashed Robert Frost’s former Vermont home last year during a night of revelry paid penance through poetry last week. As part of their plea deals, 25 of the young adults could have their records wiped clean after undergoing the Frost classes, which were taught by a Middlebury College professor who donated his time.

“I guess I was thinking that if these teens had a better understanding of who Robert Frost was and his contribution to our society, that they would be more respectful of other people’s property in the future and would also learn something from the experience,” said prosecutor John Quinn.

But will the unique sentence have the desired effect? For 22-year-old Ryan Kenyon, “It’s a lesson learned, that’s for sure. It did bring some insight. People do many things that they don’t realize the consequences of. It shined a light, at least to me.”
