Frost, Robert (Lee)
1874-1963
American poet, born and raised in San Francisco
Most notable works: New Hampshire (1923), Collected Poems (1930), A Further Range (1936), and A Witness Tree(1942).
His poetry is among the most accessible of modern writers, given the central theme of all his collections: the quest of the solitary person to make sense of the world. He enjoyed a friendship with Ezra Pound, and a rivalry with T.S. Eliot, which explains the little barb.
