Robert Frost

Robert Frost was born in San Francisco in 1874. After his father's death in 1885 the family moved to Massachusetts, near his grandfather's home in Lawrence. He studied briefly at Dartmouth College and later at Harvard, but left both without a degree. He married Elinor White, his high-school co-valedictorian, in 1895, and they had six children. For years he farmed in Derry, New Hampshire, and taught school, while writing poems that magazines rarely accepted. In 1912 the family moved to England, where his first books, A Boy's Will (1913) and North of Boston (1914), were published and praised, and he became friends with the poet Edward Thomas. He returned to America in 1915 as a well-known poet. His poems, often set in rural New England and written in plain, conversational language, include 'Mending Wall', 'Birches', 'The Road Not Taken' and 'Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening'. He taught for many years at Amherst College and won the Pulitzer Prize four times. In 1961 he recited a poem at the inauguration of President John F. Kennedy. He died in Boston in 1963.
