Summary

A biography of the New Englander who became known as America's "national poet" despite battles with poverty and depression. Robert Frost used simple language to describe nature and ordinary life. Frost himself switched paths in 1912, quitting his teaching position to become a full-time poet. His poems, easy and insightful to children and adults alike, hold a special place in America's hearts. This outstandingly composed biography introduces a new generation to the remarkable and beloved poet: a man with courage and the determination to hold on to a dream despite all obstacles
