Robert Frost，popular for his rural life poetry，was born in San Francisco，California on March 26，1874.

Frost published several poems in his high school magazine，and

he sold his first poem called My Butterfly：An Elegy for $15 in 1894.It was published in the New York Independent edition on November 8，1894.He then went on a journey to Virginia.He studied at Harvard University for two years.Although he was a very good student at Harvard，he left it to support his family.

Just before dying，his grandfather bought a farm for him and his wife.Frost worked on the farm for nine years，writing early in the mornings.During this time，Frost had written several poems which became popular later on.Eventually，his farming failed，which drove Frost back to the education field from which he had started.From 1906 to 1911，he served as an English teacher at New Hampshire's Pinkerton Academy and afterwards at the New Hampshire Normal School in Plymouth，New Hampshire.

In 1912，Frost with his family moved to Great Britain，and lived at first in Glasgow.Later，he settled in Beaconsfield outside London.His first poetry book titled A Boy's Will was published the very next year.In England，Frost became friends with some important people like Edward Thomas，a member of the group known as the Dymock Poets，T.E.Hulme，and Ezra Pound.Being surrounded by these friends，Frost published some great works in England.In 1915，after World War Ⅰ started，he returned to America and bought a farm in Franconia，New Hampshire.There he built a career in writing，teaching and lecturing.This family habitat served as his summer home until 1938.The house is now kept as the Frost Place，a museum and poetry conference site.
