Robert Frost (1874—1963) was the statesman of American letters in the twentieth century，a rare national poet who was read and respected by both university professors and everyday citizens. In his life，Frost won four Pulitzer Prizes for his works—more than any other poet in American history. His most famous poems include“The Road Not Taken”“Fire and Ice”and “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”．Though he is widely read，Frost is also one of the most misunderstood writers in the United States for the complexity of his poems.

Though born in California，Frost was brought up in New England，where he is inseparably linked. After dropping out of Dartmouth College to seek his literary dream，he remained upset for years，producing collections of works but failing to get enough of them published to make his efforts financially worthwhile. Finally，Frost left the United States in 1912 to see whether his work might be better received in London. It was，and in 1913 his first full collection was published in Great Britain. Fellow American poet Amy Lowell adored Frost's work and brought it back to the United States，publicizing it insistently. Soon afterwards Frost's collections became bestsellers，and he a famous figure.

From then on，Frost was on his way to the lifelong respect and recognition for his achievements in poetry. In 1961，he was invited to read a poem for the presidential inauguration (总统就职典礼)of John F．Kennedy. He recited his poem，“The Gift Outright” from memory at the ceremony. This was perhaps his last poetry reading in front of a wide national audience before his death in 1963. More importantly，Frost became the first poet to read a poem at a presidential inauguration. 1．What makes Frost “the statesman of American letters”？ A．The comments of other writers.
