Robert Lee Frost

Frost, Robert Lee (1874–1963), U.S. poet. For most of his life he supported himself by farming and part-time academic work. His first volumes of poetry, A Boy's Will (1913) and North of Boston (l9l4) were published during a stay in England. His reputation grew in the United States, and he won many honors, including 4 Pulitzer prizes. Outwardly colloquial and concerned with commonsense rural wisdom, his poetry is also richly symbolic. Frost's complete poems were published in 1967.
