關於作者

Robert Frost (March 26, 1874 – January 29, 1963) was a preeminent American poet whose work is marked by a profound grasp of American colloquial speech and a deep connection to rural life. Born in San Francisco, California, Frost moved to New England at a young age, and the landscapes of this region deeply influenced his poetry. Frost first gained recognition as a poet with the publication of 'A Boy's Will' (1913) and 'North of Boston' (1914). He was known for the accessibility and depth of his verse, which often explored themes of nature, individualism, and the human condition, best exemplified in his collection 'Selected Poems'. His style is deceptively simple, employing conversational language and vivid imagery that mask the philosophical complexity beneath. Frost was a four-time recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, and his work became a staple of both the American literary canon and educational curricula. A defining characteristic of Frost's poetry is his mastery of blank verse and a spectrum of other metrical patterns, which he employed to lend his poetry both a classical feel and a contemporary resonance. Over the course of his career, Robert Frost came to symbolize the rugged individualism and inherent beauty of the American spirit, both in his prolific writings and his public persona.
