New Hampshire

Robert Frost (1874-1963) was the most celebrated poet in America for most of the 20th century. Although chiefly associated with the life and landscapes of New England, his work embodies penetrating and often dark explorations of universal themes. The four-time Pulitzer Prize winner received more than 40 honorary degrees and taught for decades at Amherst College, Middlebury College, and other institutions.
