Robert Frost, born on March 26, 1874,
was an American poet, known for his representations of rural life in ways which
explored social and political themes with an emphasis on American colloquial
speech. He holds a record for receiving four Pulitzer Prizes for Poetry within
his lifetime.
Frost's grandfather bought a farm for him and his
wife, which Frost worked for nine years while writing poetry in the mornings.
His farming enterprise proved ultimately unsuccessful, but he wrote many of his
most famous poems during this period.
While Frost moved with his family to England in
1912, they would return during World War I. He then went on to work as a
teacher at Amherst College in Massachusetts, Middlebury College in Vermont, and
the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
