Robert Frost

Robert Frost
Usually set amid the natural beauty of rural New England, the concise, direct poetry of American poet Robert Frost conveys a wide range of emotions. Frost won the Pulitzer Prize in poetry four times (1924, 1931, 1937, and 1943) and became known across the country when he recited his poem “The Gift Outright” at President John F. Kennedy’s inauguration in January 1961. Frost said poetry “makes you remember what you didn't know you knew.” The poem “Fire and Ice,” according to Frost, “begins in delight, and ends in wisdom.”
