Robert Frost

Was one of the major American poets of the 20th century Educated at Dartmouth College and Harvard University After graduation from high school, Frost sporadically attended college and earned his living by working variously as a bobbin boy in a wool mill, a shoemaker, a country schoolteacher, the editor of a rural newspaper, and a farmer. He also wrote poetry, but he had little success in having his poems published.

Married Elinor White in 1895 and the two had six children– two died young Frost supported his family by farming and teaching

In 1912 Frost sold his farm, gave up a teaching post at the New Hampshire State Normal School, and went to live in England. There he met such established poets as Edward Thomas ( ), Rupert Brooke, and Lascelles Abercrombie ( ), who became his friends and did much to aid his literary career.

With their help, Frost published his first two volumes of poetry, a group of lyrics entitled A Boy's Will (1913) and a series of dramatic monologues called North of Boston (1914). These works won him immediate recognition, and in 1915 Frost returned to the U.S. to find that his fame had preceded him. Thereafter he continued to write poetry with increasing success, while living on farms in Vermont and New Hampshire and teaching literature at Amherst College, the University of Michigan, Harvard University, and Dartmouth College.

Frost was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for poetry four times (1924, 1931, 1937, 1943); in 1961, at the inauguration of John F. Kennedy, he became the first poet to read a poem at a presidential inauguration.

The underlying philosophy of Frost's poetry is rooted in traditional New England individualism, and his work shows his strong sympathy for the values of early American society.

Themes Frost studied the Romantics and some of their themes are evident in many of his poems: –Loneliness –Isolation –Nature Frost also used modern themes coupled with traditional poetic forms

Poem Example Horse for Sale By Crystal Lamar Headed home down the old, lost county road The dust billows behind the car as I Turn and pause to check the sign, “Horse for Sale” Blonde heads bob sleepily in the back seat Is our new home so far away from town? A dark quiet, I start at the glowing lights Three pair of eyes glow from the woods’ gray edge I am motionless, silent, dust settles Crickets, the breaths of two sleeping children Lonely broken, a lost city station Alone, not scared, empowered, peaceful woods.
