American Poetry By Bill Cutcliffe. "A Cape Cod Passion" is based on a lifelong love for the Cape. In verse, Bill intertwines a passion for family, geology and nature, unlocking much of Cape Cod's beauty and wonder while at the same time sharing his life's experiences. Bill's chance experience of a two-hour reading by Robert Frost to a small group of Dartmouth freshmen has had a meaningful impact on his work. This, as well as the discovery of his family roots in Old Cornwall, England find their way into his poetry and verse.
