Introduction to Frost?

Robert Frost It was only in the second half of his life that the nature poet Robert Frost won recognition for his poetic achievements. In the following years, he established himself as an important literary figure. He worked as a shoemaker, teacher, and farmer in New England states. His poems draw themes from rural life and have many similarities with poets of the 19th century, but are less modern in comparison. Robert Frost won the Pulitzer Prize four times: "New Hampshire" in 1924, "Selected Poems" in 1931, "Another Pasture" in 1937, and "A Bearing Tree" in 1943. The United States Senate paid tribute to Robert Frost on both his 75th and 85th birthdays. He was a notable presence at John F. Kennedy's 1961 inauguration, reciting "The Versatile Man," a poem he had written especially for the occasion. Robert Frost's Life Robert Frost is a famous American poet. Robert Frost was born in San Francisco on March 26, 1874. His father died when he was 11 years old and he was raised by his mother. His Scottish mother's loyalty and devout religious beliefs had a great influence on Frost's personality and literary career, making his works both practical and mysterious. His interest in poetry emerged in middle school, and he published several poems in the school magazine. Married in 1895, and for the next two years, he and his wife helped his mother manage a small private school. During this period, he wrote poems and submitted them to various publications, but they were rarely published. His first sold poem, "My Butterfly: An Elegy," was published in the literary weekly "Independence" in 1894. In the fall of 1897, Frost entered Harvard University in order to become a high school Latin and Greek teacher. But within two years, he interrupted his studies due to lung disease and started raising chickens. In 1900, the family moved to Derry, New Hampshire, to the farm his grandfather purchased for him. After failing in running the farm, he returned to teaching (1906-1912). Most of his best-known poems were written in Delhi but did not attract the interest of editors. In 1912, Frost moved his family to England. A London publishing company immediately accepted his collection of lyric poems and published it in 1913 under the title "The Will of Youth". Then, his collection of narrative poems "North of Boston" was published in 1914. The enthusiastic praise from British critics attracted the attention of the American publishing industry. Three American publishing companies immediately requested manuscripts from him. During his stay in London, he also met E. Pound, E. Thomas, T. E. Hume, W. W. Gibson, L. Abercrombie and other poets. After the start of World War I, Frost returned to the United States in February 1915, coinciding with the publication of his first two collections of poetry in New York. His poems were enthusiastically received by American readers. Since then, his fame has greatly increased, ending the era of obscurity. Since then, he has taught or done research at Amherst College, the University of Michigan, and Harvard University. He was extremely interested in botany. Most of the poems in "The Will of Youth" describe plants. Nature had religious significance for him. His poetry appeals to an unusually wide variety of readers because it can be appreciated in so many different ways. In terms of poetry creation techniques, he is completely different from most poets in the 20th century. He did not experiment and reform the form of poetry, but repeatedly claimed that he was content with using "old forms to express new content." He studied the 19th-century British romantic poet Wordsworth and used language close to that of ordinary men and women to express feelings and describe events and scenes in daily life. Therefore, his works seem "unpoetic" compared with the artificial and sentimental poetry that was popular before the First World War. He was also influenced by the 19th century British poet Browning and used dramatic monologue or dialogue techniques in his poems. His study of ancient Greek and ancient Latin writers, especially Theocritos and Virgil, laid the foundation for his writing of pastorals. He uses catchy language, familiar rhymes, and metaphors and symbols common in daily life to describe the morals of the quiet countryside of New England. However, his poetry does not merely record the neglected objects of nature or the behavior of country folk. His descriptions of nature often contain profound, symbolic, and even metaphysical meanings. His excellent poetry often transcends the direct relationship between his personal appearance and his inner world, other people, nature and the entire universe, and in some way illustrates the values ??on which his profound religious beliefs are based. Although a considerable portion of his poetry deals with fear and doubt, the general tendency is positive. Frost's other works include: poetry collections "In the Mountains" (1916), "New Hampshire" (1923), "Streams Going West" (1928), "Another Pasture" (1936), "In the Woods" "The Clearing" (1962) and the poetic dramas "The Mask of Reason" (1945) and "The Mask of Mercy" (1947). Frost died in Boston on January 29, 1963.
