Robert Frost<br />

Even though Frost did not want to<br />

leave Engl<strong>and</strong>, he did in 1915 <strong>and</strong> moves to<br />

New Engl<strong>and</strong> once again where he publishes<br />

another collection, Mountain Interval, which<br />

contains themes <strong>of</strong> isolation, loneliness, <strong>and</strong><br />

fear. Some <strong>of</strong> his popular poems from this<br />

collection include “Birches” <strong>and</strong> “The Road<br />

Not Taken.” In 1961 Frost had the honor <strong>of</strong><br />

reading one <strong>of</strong> his poems at the inauguration <strong>of</strong><br />

President Kennedy, as well as travel to the<br />

Soviet Union for a diplomatic exchange<br />

(Meyers 181-2). Some other works include, but<br />

do not limit to, New Hampshire (1924),<br />

Collected Poems (1930), A Further Range<br />

(1937), <strong>and</strong> A Witness Tree (1943), all <strong>of</strong><br />

which won Pulitzer Prizes. Two years later on<br />

January 29, 1963, Robert Frost passed away<br />

from infected blood clots <strong>and</strong> pulmonary<br />

embolisms.
