Robert Frost

Robert Frost (1874-1963) is considered one of the United States’ most central poetic voices. Although his work is best know through its depictions of rural New England, his poems also spoke in a modern voice often concerned with psychological complexity. Frost served as U.S. Poet Laureate from 1958 to 1959. President John F. Kennedy, at whose inauguration Frost delivered a poem, said, “He has bequeathed his nation a body of imperishable verse from which Americans will forever gain joy and understanding.”
