Frost was one of America's leading 20th-century poets. A four time Pulitzer Prize winner, he wrote poetry that was both traditional and experimental, often associated with New England, but very universal. His first poem, "My Butterfly: An Elegy", was sold to The Independent, a New York literary journal, in 1894.
He was married to Elinor White in 1895, and attended Harvard from 1897 to 1899. He operated a farm in Derry, New Hampshire and taught at Derry's Pinkerton Academy until 1912, when he sold the farm and moved to England. In 1913 and 1914, his first two books of poetry, "A Boy's Will" and "North of Boston" were released. His success as a poet abroad led to the publication of "North of Boston" in the United States in 1915.
With the success of "North of Boston" and "A Boy's Will", he returned to the United States and bought a new farm in Franconia, NH.
