For the few years just before the First World War these six poets went walking in the Malvern Hills, Herefordshire and across to Gloucestershire, discussing their poetry and reading. In England he made some important acquaintances, including Edward Thomas and Rupert Brooke, who were both member of the group of six known as the Dymock poets. Although he is considered to be one of the greatest American poets of the twentieth century, his first collection, "A Boy's Will" was originally published in England in 1913, during the 3 short years when he lived in England, between 1912-1915. This is a short selection of poems by Robert Frost, who was born in San Francisco, California, in 1874. Frost preferred traditional rhyme and meter in poetry his famous dismissal of free verse was, "I'd just as soon play tennis with the net down." Frost attended both Dartmouth College and Harvard, but did not graduate from either school. He also served as "Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress" from 1958-59 that position was renamed as Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry (or simply Poet Laureate) in 1986.įrost recited his poem "The Gift Outright" at the 1961 inauguration of John F. Frost was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for poetry four times: in 1924, 1931, 19. Frost's poems include "Mending Wall" ("Good fences make good neighbors"), "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" ("Whose woods these are I think I know"), and perhaps his most famous work, "The Road Not Taken" ("Two roads diverged in a wood, and I- / I took the one less traveled by"). His pastoral images of apple trees and stone fences - along with his solitary, man-of-few-words poetic voice - helped define the modern image of rural New England. In 1915 he returned to the United States and continued to write while living in New Hampshire and then Vermont. His first two books of verse, A Boy's Will (1913) and North of Boston (1914), were immediate successes. Frost was farming in Derry, New Hampshire when, at the age of 38, he sold the farm, uprooted his family and moved to England, where he devoted himself to his poetry.
