BIOGRAPHY
After three years in England, Frost returned to America a recognized poet. Later volumes, notably Mountain Interval (1916), New Hampshire (1923), West-Running Brook (1928), and A Further Range (1936), won Frost numerous awards, including two Pulitzer Prizes, and a wide popularity. By the time he delivered his poem "The Gift Outright" at the inauguration of President John F. Kennedy in 1961, Frost had achieved the status of unofficial poet laureate of America, widely revered and beloved for his folksy manner and seemingly artless, accessible poems.
