Robert Lee Frost - (March 26, 1874 - January 29, 1963) One of our most beloved American poets, Robert Lee Frost, was famous for his poems about nature and the people of New England. Born near San Francisco, California, his family moved to New Hampshire when he was 10 years old; otherwise, he might have written about California redwoods instead of New England birches. In 1912, he took his family to England. When he returned to the United States in 1915, Frost was considered “a leading voice of the modern poetic renaissance” (Dictionary of American Biography). Frost received the Pulitzer Prize for poetry four times; more than any other poet. He was also honored by being asked to read his poem, “The Gift Outright,” at President John F. Kennedy’s inauguration. That poem begins: “The land was ours before we were the land’s...” Frost often wrote about the relationship between people and nature and shows a good understanding of humankind. Before his book, A Boy’s Will, made him famous almost over night, Frost worked as a shoemaker, a country school teacher, the editor of a rural newspaper, and a farmer. On September 16, 1969, Robert Frost Middle School opened and was named in honor of this great man. |
