Robert Frost (1874-1963)
Robert Lee Frost was an American poet. He is highly regarded for his realistic 
depictions of rural life and his command of American colloquial speech. 
His work frequently employed settings from rural life in New England 
in the early twentieth century, using them to examine complex social and 
philosophical themes. A popular and often-quoted poet, Frost was honored 
frequently during his lifetime, receiving four Pulitzer Prizes for Poetry.
