“Robert Frost was born in California but grew in Massachusetts, part of the region in the northeastern USA known as New England. After he finished school he took on all kinds of jobs but he always knew he wanted to be a poet. Although he spent two years at Harvard University, he left his studies and became a farmer to support his family. Alongside his farming activities he also wrote poetry and taught at various schools, colleges and universities throughout his career. In his poetry he often used the rural settings he lived in to present his social philosophical ideas.”
