Theresa M. (United States of America)
This is one of Frost most famous poems, first published in a 1923 Yale Review. Later that year, Frost published the poem in a book of poetry, New Hampshire. In 1924, Frost was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. In his lifetime, he earned four Pulitzer Prizes. Frost was a teacher in his early years and again in his later years. Would I have loved to be in his class!

About Frost, President John F. Kennedy said, "He has bequeathed his nation a body of imperishable verse from which Americans will forever gain joy and understanding." - Source: Poets.org.
