Robert Frost

 Robert Frost

    Robert Frost, one of America's most famous poets, was born in San Francisco in 1874. When he was just eleven years old, his father died. So his mother moved with Robert and his sister to Lawrence, Massachusetts, where they lived with their grandparents.
    As a young man, Frost briefly attended college, and then settled down on a farm in New Hampshire with his wife, Elinor. During this period, he lived the life of a country farmer, which he described in many of his poems.
    In 1912, he sold the farm and moved his family to England. It was there that his talents as a poet were at last recognized. He published two collections of poems--A Boy's Will, in 1913, and North of Boston, in 1914. When he returned with his family to America in 1915, he had become a well-known poet.
    During the next part of his life, Frost taught at the university level and continued to publish his poetry. Most of his poems were about country life and nature. Two of his best known poems are "The Road Not Taken" and "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening."
    His beautiful poetry won him many honors, including four Pulitzer Prizes--more than any other poet in history. In 1963, Robert Frost died in Boston at the age of 89.
