Robert Frost

Robert Frost was one of the greatest poets to ever have lived. As happens in his poem 'Out-Out', Frost's life was struck with early tragedy. At the age of 11, Frost's father died and his family moved to Massachusetts. Frost finished his schooling in Massachusetts and then attended Dartmouth for a very short period. As with many brilliant men, he did not remain in college for very long. Leaving Dartmouth, he became a teacher for a little while and then decided to return to college. This time he attended Harvard but again left before earning a degree. Frost moved his wife and children to England in 1912 after selling the family farm in hopes of pursuing a career as a full time writer, having descent success with his very first publication. After quickly achieving success, Frost moved back to New York City as a full-time writer/poet. In his life Frost won 4 Pulitzer Prizes, the first of which coming in 1924. The total number of awards Frost won are too numerable to list. His love for words and his skill in crafting them into poems made Frost an all-time great poet.
