Robert Lee Frost (March
26, 1874 – January
29,
1963) was an American poet. His work was initially published in England
before it was published in America. Known for his realistic depictions
of rural life and his command of American
colloquial speech,
[2] Frost frequently wrote about settings from rural life in
New England in the early twentieth century, using them to examine complex social and philosophical themes.
Frost was honored frequently during his lifetime, receiving four
Pulitzer Prizes for Poetry. He became one of America's rare "public literary figures, almost an artistic institution."
[3] He was awarded the
Congressional Gold Medal in 1960 for his poetic works. On July 22, 1961, Frost was named
poet laureate of
Vermont.
