Poetry great Robert Lee Frost was born in San Francisco, California, on this day in history, <\/a>March 26, 1874.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 1892, Frost graduated from Lawrence High School. He was named “class poet”<\/a> and served as co-valedictorian with his future wife, Elinor White.<\/p>\n

Two years after his high school graduation, Frost\u2019s poem “My Butterfly” was accepted by the New York Independent.<\/p>\n

Throughout the next eight years, Frost only had 13 additional poems published, according to Biography.com.<\/p>\n

The poet attended Dartmouth College for several months before returning home to work at a number of “unfulfilling jobs,” the website reports.<\/p>\n

Frost\u2019s firstborn, Elliot, died of cholera in 1900. White went on to give birth to four more children<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The youngest Frost child, Elinor, born in 1907, tragically died just weeks after birth.<\/p>\n

The Frosts attempted to build a life on the New England farm for the next 12 years, pursuing a variety of unsuccessful endeavors including poultry farming, Biography.com reports.<\/p>\n

In 1912, Frost moved his family to the U.K. after American magazines consistently rejected his work, Poetry Foundation reports.<\/p>\n

While Frost continued to write about New England even when living across the pond, he published two poetry books, “A Boy\u2019s Will” (1913) and “North of Boston” (1914).<\/p>\n

“North of Boston” featured two of Frost\u2019s most notable poems, “Mending Wall” (1914) and “After Apple-Picking” (1914).<\/p>\n

These publications allowed Frost to move back, in 1915, to the U.S. \u2014 where he was celebrated as a literary figure.<\/p>\n

They reportedly influenced Frost to write “The Road Not Taken” (1916).<\/p>\n

This poem, as well as “Birches” (1915), was published in his book “Mountain Interval” in 1916.<\/p>\n

Frost’s reputation grew for writing poems about nature while receiving praise for his traditional lyric and meter, Poetry Foundation reports.<\/p>\n

His next book, “New Hampshire” (1923), featured classic poems such as “Stopping by Woods on a Snowing Evening,” which earned him his first Pulitzer Prize.<\/p>\n

He taught at Amherst until 1938, when his wife died of cancer. The college\u2019s main library is named in Frost\u2019s honor.<\/p>\n

Frost went on the win four Pulitzer Prizes for his poetry, as well as 40 honorary degrees.<\/p>\n

In 1960, he was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal by Congress.<\/p>\n
