Robert Frost

I lived from 1874-1963. I was from the United States, and am in the Americas category.

I influenced poets W H Auden, Sterling A Brown.

I was influenced by poets Edwin Arlington Robinson, Edward Rowland Sill.

Robert Lee Frost was born in California USA March the 26th 1874. His parents William Prescott Frost and Isabel Moodie, met when they were both working as teachers. Robert was the eldest of their two children, Jeanie being his sister.

In 1885 following the death of his father, the family moved in with his grandfather in Lawrence Massachusetts.
