## Biography

Robert Frost was an acclaimed American poet, born on March 26, 1874, in San Francisco, California. After his father's death, Frost moved with his family to Lawrence, Massachusetts, a setting that would deeply influence his later works. He briefly attended Dartmouth College and Harvard University but never earned a degree. In 1895, he married Elinor Miriam White, a significant inspiration throughout his life.

Seeking a more dedicated writing environment, Frost and his family moved to England in 1912, where he met and was influenced by other contemporary poets. His first two poetry collections, "A Boy's Will" and "North of Boston," were published there and quickly gained recognition. Upon returning to the United States in 1915, Frost became renowned for his realistic depictions of rural New England life and his command of American colloquial speech. He won four Pulitzer Prizes for poetry and was a consultant in poetry to the Library of Congress. A memorable moment in his career was reciting "The Gift Outright" at John F. Kennedy's presidential inauguration in 1961. Frost passed away on January 29, 1963, in Boston, Massachusetts, leaving behind a lasting legacy as one of America's most cherished poets.
