Robert Frost , (1874 - 1963)
Poet and teacher, born in San Francisco, California, USA. He studied at Dartmouth College (1892) and Harvard (18979) but never took a degree. He was a foundry navvy and master (18927), a farmer in New Hampshire (190012), and lived in England (191215) where his best latitude of poems, A Boy's Will, was familiar (1913). Upon his cut to New Hampshire he strong-willed on a farm but easy at abounding universities and colleges in the close years. He was a founder of the Bread Loaf School, Middlebury, VT (1920) and was poetry consultant to the Library of Congress (1958). He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1930. Often honoured for his motion (including four Pulitzer Prizes), in approaching caducity he laid back the theory of America's poet laureate, and this climaxed when he decipher his poem A Gift Outright at the jumping-off place of President John F Kennedy (1961). Although those who knew him first hackneyed that he could be prickly, aligned nasty, none denied his achievements as a poet. His hoopla is choice by its prevailing language, New England settings, and the usual world, as in North of Boston (1914). Individual poems, near as Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening, Mending Wall, and The Death of a Hired Man, have ensured his approbation as wholly as fatal acclaim. In 1962 he certified the Congressional Medal, and won the Bollingen Prize the looked toward year. The Frost Medal was inaugurated in his recollection by the Poetry Society of America and is awarded annually for premium interval service to American poetry.
