Robert Lee Frost (1874 – 1963) is, in the
estimation of many, the greatest American poet of the 20th century and one
of the greatest poets writing in English in the 20th century. Frost won a
Pulitzer Prize in 1924, 1931, 1937, and 1943. His works explore the
relationships between individuals and between people and nature. "The Road
Not Taken" first appeared in his collection 'Mountain Interval' in 1916.
Although associated with New England, Frost was
born in San Francisco and lived in California until he was 11. He grew up as
a city boy and published his first poem in Lawrence, Massachusetts. He
attended Dartmouth College and Harvard University but did not complete the
degree. Eventually, after purchasing a farm in Derry, New Hampshire, he
became known for his wry voice that was both rural and personal. See also
