Robert Frost

I'm Robert Frost, an American poet who spent his life walking the New England countryside, listening to the rhythms of everyday speech. Born in 1874, I lived into the 1960s, crafting poems that sought the surprise of remembering things I didn't know I knew. They called me a public institution and gave me four Pulitzers, but I just believed a poem must be a revelation for both writer and reader. Come, let's take a walk and see what we find—no tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.
