Robert Frost was an American poet and the winner of four Pulitzer Prizes. Popular works include "Fire and Ice," "Wall Repair," "Buckets," "Exit," "No Gold Can Remain" and "Home Burial." His 1916 poem, "The Road Not That That," is often read at graduation ceremonies in the United States. As a special guest at the inauguration of President John F. Kennedy, Frost became a poet and an illegal “poet of the United States.”
Frost spent his first 40 years anonymously. He exploded at the scene after returning from England at the start of World War I. He died of prostate surgery problems on January 29, 1963.
