Robert Frost

Robert Frost, born March 26, 1874, in San Francisco, California, was an eminent American poet whose work drew extensively on rural New England life. After the death of his father in 1885, Frost’s family relocated to Lawrence, Massachusetts. He attended Dartmouth College and later Harvard University, though he never earned a formal degree. Frost's career began in earnest when he moved to England in 1912, where he encountered several influencers of his literature. His first two volumes of poetry, "A Boy’s Will" (1913) and "North of Boston" (1914), were published during this period.

Returning to the United States in 1915, Frost continued to gain prominence with collections such as "Mountain Interval" (1916) and "New Hampshire" (1923), the latter winning him his first of four Pulitzer Prizes. Known for his mastery of blank verse and his ability to capture the intricacies of human emotion and naturalistic themes, Frost's work includes some of the most iconic poems in American literature, including "The Road Not Taken" and "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening."

Frost also held teaching posts at various institutions such as Amherst College and served as a consultant in poetry to the Library of Congress. He passed away on January 29, 1963, in Boston, Massachusetts, leaving a profound legacy in the literary world.
