Frost was born in 1874 in San Francisco and grew up in New England. He attended both Harvard University and Dartmouth College but did not graduate from either.

He won four Pulitzer prizes for his poetry and was a highly influential figure in American literature. Frost died in 1963 at the age of 89.
