Autorenporträt
Robert Frost, who died in 1963, is among America's most important poets. "New Hampshire" is the book that put Robert Frost on the map. Amazingly, despite years of writing, Frost did not publish a book until he was 39. It was not until 1923 that he attracted national attention with the publication of "New Hampshire," which was awarded the Pulitzer Prize the following year. He also won Pulitzer Prizes for his books, "Collected Poems" (1930), "A Further Range" (1936) and "A Witness Tree" (1942). The son of a San Francisco, California, journalist, Frost was no stranger to the writer's life. He learned from his father how to use colloquial speech to depict the lives of ordinary people. However, instead of becoming a journalist he chose the life of a poet, knowing full well it would not financially sustain him, his wife and their children. To support his family, he taught, lectured, and did farm work when necessary. Among his most memorable poems are: "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening," "Nothing Gold Can Stay," "Fire and Ice," "Mending Wall," and "The Road Not Taken."
